School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
Where do I begin? The cirriculum is not on grade level. We currently moved and my children had to switch schools, I see such a decline in my children... Not only in their education but also in their motivation and attitude. My daughters teacher is very nice, I wish I could say the same for my sons teacher. My son gets made fun of, the school has very poor communication skills. I just feel like this move was a horrible mistake and I feel like a horrible parent even sending my child to this school everyday.
