(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The only complaints that I have heard has been the size of the gym (noise), the lunchroom being too small and too loud. As far as the teaching goes I, as a parent, have no issues with them and have been kept informed by the teaching staff. Oh and we do volunteer! This is one of the better schools that I have seen and the facilities are really nice.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - For such a beautiful school, it is so disappointing to me the way it is run. There is no leadership or accountability. The children have no guidance. When I send my child to school, I feel as though I am throwing her to the woves. Never know what is going to happen that day in school. Kids think it's great to body box and when teachers talk about it to the children, they disrespect them. The teachers have no control of their classroom. The kids are good kids as I have many of them over to my house. Teachers blame the kids as being bad kids coming from bad families, but this is not the case. I know many parents and kids in this school and the parents are good parents and the kids are good kids. Parents lets volunteer in the school! If there are enough parents in the school, the school will change.
