This is a VERY RACIST school. The staff is so rude and unprofessional if your skin is not a certain color you can barely get help with anything!! Very prejudice and racist!

If I could rate this school a zero, I would.
The teachers are rude, disrespectful and any issue will be swept under the rug!
My child has never had issues with any staff, teachers, or school until this one.
Furthermore, reaching out will get you nothing. They dont make mistakes, so apparently there is nothing to correct on their end. A school of perfectionist I suppose.
It sickened me to have to keep sending my child there knowing we had no one in our corner.. the teachers are never wrong, the principal will only talk over you in conversation, so speaking on any issue is pointless.
I was surprised at how teachers spoke to the kids, it was so bad we started recording daily logs and voice memos in the rooms, just simple questions were answered hatefully and with rudeness and yelling. If you have the choice to avoid this school for 4th and 5th grade. Save yourself a huge headache and do it.

My sons teachers and SPED teachers are AWESOME!! I feel they have gone that extra mile with my kiddo!!! He has Aspergers and can be a real challenge some days. The teachers, as well as Principal Steiner have a true understanding of autism and have communicated daily with me on his behavior. They have handled issues in a caring but firm way with my son! A GREAT SCHOOL for sure!

This school is operated like a private school. The teachers are involved and interested in their students learning and having a good time doing it! My son has enjoyed the past two years there. The culture is rather strict due to the teacher/student ratio. High expectations = maximum results!
