(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school has extremely small rooms. You feel very claustrophobic while in there. Their teachers are mediocre and the curriculum is outdated and not research based. If you send your child there they will regress in their education. They tolerate bullying and don't even edit their school newspaper. They send it out to the public with all of the student generated errors prominately displayed. They love money they get from the government but are not all that interested in educating the children. They do not have a lunch program or cafeteria and make children eat outside even in the winter. They have no sports program to speak of.

- I believe this school to be on an exceptional level. I have had the honor to teach at this wonderful community school for the past two years and I can say in all honesty, I have loved and valued every minute of it. This amazing school has thrived through the last six years and will, without a doubt, go on to be an even greater gift to the children and families in this community than it has been already. The small class sizes give students all of the attention they crave as well as allows the teachers to develop essential academic skills with each student on an individual level. There is a caring and compassionate atmosphere at this school that has been created with administrators, teachers, staff, parents and students all working together to make this a place rich in individuality and intelligence.
