in kindergarten our teacher just lost my baby, my child was simply lost .... as a result, the teacher simply did not notice how the child left, without realizing, to safe kids. after I had a fight with the teacher, there have been constant complaints every year, for no apparent reason. At school, they simply did not like the child. one day I came for him and they brought me his cupcake with me because everyone in the class ate, (it was his birthday) and my child was simply siottrel, since the teacher decided that after the sweet he is very active, the disgusting staff of teachers, and I dont one I think so, I know about 3 more mothers who constantly have problems with the teachers of this school

They deal with a student bullying another student fine. But apparently the are fine with a teacher bullying a student.

This is the worst school any of my three boys have gone. I am so glad that this was my sons only year my son was stuck at this awful school. The art teacher is a bully and should have been fired for the way she verbally bullied and physically but her hands on my son! I pulled my son out of school 3 days early to keep anything else from happening to him.

5 years ago my son had Mrs.Lorifing for his kindergarten teacher. She was amazing!! She taught him to read within the first two weeks of school. She was super organized and had a lot of parent help. Great school.

I have had a child in this school for 4 years and have seen it go DOWN hill in the past year. Bullying is a bug problem and it seems to go by the wayside. I am seeking a better school for my son. He no longer looks forward to going to school here and his grades have dropped drastically.

When I went there in first grade, the teachers didn't care about me. When I fell one time and scraped up my whole face, the teacher said nothing and was careless. The next day I went in the class with bandages all over my face THEN the teachers said, "what happened". When I had a small fever they wouldn't let me go to the nurse because they found out that another student had a higher fever. I'm hoping it will become a better school and has changed since before. I did have many caring friends and they agreed that they saw the scraps and helped me through hard times. There was very few bully issues and when your little you never wanted to tell your parents, but I now confess. It was a decent school, until I went to private school. It was so much better than that mean place.

The education my children have received so far, is barely mediocre. A lot of the staff I've encountered at this school are lazy, condescending, and even rude - to both students and parents. These are not the qualities in teachers and office staff, that I want influencing my children. I'm currently looking into enrolling my children in a private school to get them away from this mess.
