(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I would have to agree with the last review...... My daughter is bi-racial, and had to endure racist comments made to her by children brought up in non cultured families...With no support from the school or there staff. I complained to the principal, who in return decided to tell me a lengthy story about her daughter in laws sister's bi-racial relationship; which basically led to her telling me to move to a more multi racial area. When I finally threatned to report this to the super intendent, they offered to get the guidance counsler to speak to the class.... Still no results....Still unhappy with the school.

- This school is terrible! The school nurse calls daily because our daughter has severe allergies, and she needs to take her inhaler. The school nurse calls and gripes about it, saying she uses it too much, etc.... The school nurse has even called and said we need to have our daughter wear a coat when its below 50. We only live 1 block away, and she always dresses for the weather. The teachers made her go through PE with a doctors note saying she is excused from PE with a hairline fracture in her ankle. The PE teacher made my daughter go through the pain!!!!!! by not letting her be excused. You complain to the staff there, and they just ignore your complaints. Very bad school!!!!!!
