I am dissapointed in the way this school chooses to discipline their students. EVERYDAY SEVERAL children are suspended from school for things such as being disresectful to teachers or horse playing with friends. The Dean Of Discipline, Ms. Robin Brower does not use a realistic merit system when disciplining the children. The suspensions give the students a stigma of being a bad child which then leads to more acting out and more suspensions. I would not recommed anyone sending their child to this school
