We have two kids that have attended this school and one that started Kindergarten today and we have had nothing but good results so far!

I don't see how the last reviewer could give this school a 4 Star rating (oh, and by the way my kid gets bullied). I drove by at recess and saw 7 kids, go to the end of the recess field, and push a kid down in between them and kick him. This school has a real problem with bullying.

I am responding to the previous reviewer who asked how the person before them could have given the school a 4 star review. I am the person they is referring to. My reasoning was because I felt the only flaw in this school was the bullying. At the time I wrote that review, we had only experienced bullying the first year, not the second. Since the problem seemed to be corrected, and everything else (teacher, education, etc.) was good, that was my reasoning for the 4 stars. But I do agree that the bullying here was terrible. And now, a year since my review, I'm finding out my son was bullied in his 2nd year, he just never said anything to us! I think he's only telling me now because he no longer goes to this school, so he didn't have to worry about backlash. I didn't have room in my other review, but I wanted to mention how he came home once with a note from the nurse saying he was slapped numerous times in the face and was given an ice pack. He had a welt on his cheek. They made it sound no big deal, like it was normal or something. I don't think the child in question was punished. I had hoped our situation was an isolated case, but apparently others are experiencing it as well.

Great school and staff except for the librarian, kids called her Mrs. grinch. She forgot she is a public servant.
