Some teachers my child has at this school barely give them any attention or help. The friendliness of the teachers and staff are very rude. My student comes home every day and complains that the food is horrible and they will never eat nasty food. I would've given this school no stars but it would not let me.

5-6 grade teachers hold degrees however many are not competent to teach. Since the implementation of the Mac book system teachers rarely teach and leave the students to figure it out on their own in the upper grade levels. School is located in a high property tax area and unfortunately the tax money obviously is not being spent on students education when the few textbooks that are used are 20+ years old.
