School Reviews
1 3/12/2020
This school has gone downhill fast since getting the new superintendent/principal. He does not communicate well with his staff and parents. Makes poor decisions. Only cares about test scores. The school does not have the right support for learning disabilities. The school can't keep up with the growth in the area so the students/ teacher ratios are high.
