This is the worst school My children have ever gone to! My 5 yr old has been bullied here for 4 months by an abusive 5th grader 3 times her size! My emails were ignored until I got the district involved! The administrators of this school show no worry or concern about bullying or safety! After 4 months of bullying and suffering my daughter went through her bully got 1 day suspension and my daughter was left scarred and in therapy to help her cope with this horrible school and bullying!
