School Reviews

I was very disappointed at the fact there is no extra help for the 5th graders. I even called the principal's office and received no call back from the principal just a message from the office saying that they can't make the teachers stay to help the kids. I also inquired about a counselor and was told 5th graders don't have counselors. This is not what I expended from a school in an area where the property taxes very high.

The school has its flaws but I`m not going to be that student who whines over it. I say it is an average school and handles situations like any other school would.
