This school has some serious issues. Many classes have 34 students with just one teacher and no aides. The school has very limited support for special education needs. The principal considers behavioral issues like PDD or autism to be discipline issues and wants to the parents to take care of them at home instead of providing care mandated in the IEP. Many parents are pulling their kids and placing them in the local private schools or homeschooling. A teacher also threatened to stab his students through the heart with a pencil if they did not do their homework (2d graders). Go somewhere else where your kids will be safer.

This school is a joke. They claim that they are first in learning and this is proven by the testing, but they push the children to earn those high test scores. They always want to hold the military children back because they are not"caught up", but do not keep into consideration that standards are different everywhere. The teachers are unprofessional, rude, and mean to the children. One teacher hit my daughter in the head and when I approached the principal, all he did was tell me to handle the situation with the teacher. The school is always asking for money, but not effectively teaching the children. The only reason why the school has such a high academic rating is because one or both of the parents have degree and can teach where the teacher lacks. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!
