Cindy: Although, I found the principal to be interested in wanting to help with my situation, I, too, did not see it in the teachers. The teachers I have dealt with are young and seem more interested in their social life than that of their classroom.

jenny: After my childs second year at this school I've seen enough that needs improvement which is why I rated all areas as poor. I like the enthusiasm I see from the principal, however I'm not so impressed with the two teachers we've had thus far.
I've seen very young children ( 5 years old) wandering around campus not knowing where to go. This is just absolutely unacceptable. I also told a teacher I was available to help in the classroom, but she seemed to not want parent involvement which I found very disappointing and strange. I find this school mediocre with much need for some creativity and challenging curriculum for our kids.
