My family has moved a few times this school is not the best.

This is our second year with this school. My daughter was bullied last year and all year I was lied to about what was being done, which was actually nothing. I thought this year would be better with some new teachers and a new principal but the bullying continues and when they investigate it was always an "accident" though the bully has repeated incidents with several different students. My kids will be moved to another school.

Horrible! The drop off makes some sense but pick up is horrible and there is never a place to park. This is by far the worst school for bullying also. We moved last year and last year she was bullied and this year it continues. Whats worse is the teacher gets onto the kid who is being bullied and not the bully.

We moved into this school zone the last three months of the year. Even though it had low ratings I decided it would be a good chance to see if we liked the school before transferring my child. The staff was nice and my child preformed well academically but their attitude towards bullying was apathetic. I saw children leaving the school in tears on multiple occasions due to bullying. When my child was on the receiving end the administrator I spoke with told me that a lot of the children at this school were a "tougher" sort because of their home life and economic status, and that there was little that could be done about it. I have seen successful anti-bullying programs in other schools, there is no excuse to just tolerate unacceptable behavior. Schools should be teaching children how to treat others with respect especially if they are not learning it at home. School can and should be a positive experience. I hope they are able to make the necessary adjustments to fix this problem.
