(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is the worst school I have ever seen in my entire life. Some of the teachers don't like their jobs and the office staff is extremely rude. Every time I go in there I leave wanting to go back and let them know how unprofessionally they are portraying themselves regardless of how they feel about me, my appearance or my children.
This is the first year my children have attended this school. Out of the four teachers my children have, I think I really like one of them. Had I known what I know now we would have not purchased a house here. BAD CHOICE ON MY END.
The first day of school I was trying to help out in class because the teacher was not at the table to help and the other child's parent was not there. My child was sitting right next to her and she came over to gave me a snarl and moved her to another table. Are you freaking kidding me? There are like 15 parents in the room and no one else was going to help either. WOW!
I am a human resources professional and would not hire some of the people that work here.
They want help in the classrooms but they want to be able to pick who helps. They require a purple badge to help on field trips now, however there are people out there who are offenders that no one even knows about. HELLO most (...) offenders have not been caught.
Children should not be alone with any volunteer at any time regardless of the situation. There should be two at all times everywhere they go.
I am very unhappy with this school and am currently looking into moving my children to another school or charter.
