No, they did nothing to help with the bullying and it was always the same students. They just paddled kids, but that didn't hurt.

No, they don't help kids with learning disabilities. They treat us all the same. Even the ones with visible disabilities. Like the ones in the wheel chair.

It really wasn't that effective. But the Principal had the only effective leadership.

Not really. They just put the fear into you.

They mostly yelled and didn't give clear instructions.

The teachers really didn't help the kids. They just went over the homework.

I went to this school in 2001-2006. My time there was bad because I was bullied a lot and the teachers never really did anything about it. But once the bully was being bullied themselves. They did something about it. Which is weird because they have a no bully tolerance zone policy. Which was ineffective and they never really followed. I remember my 3rd grade teacher making me stay behind for lunch because I couldn't get the division problems right. I had a learning disability and she wasn't really helping me. We had reported it to the prinicipal and she tried talking to her but the same thing kept happening.
In the 4th grade, I had another chance to move after leaving the school in the 4th grade. But I decided once we got back. I wanted to finish out my grade and not have gone to three different elementary schools.
So anyways, I came back thinking that the forth grade would be different. But the same thing happened again. I moved the following year in the fifth grade and I decided to go to the same school.
I just wished that I would've known better and went to a different elementary school that actually helped.

This school is sub-par. They are under-resourced, there are no activities for the children, there was not even an after school program last year. When you call the school, the staff seem completely clueless. They can't seem to answer the simplest questions. You are always on hold for yet another person that doesn't know the answer to your question. The test scores are abysmal.
