School Reviews
1 3/8/2021
Very poor school with inexperienced teachers. Constantly firing people who work there. Forget reading and writing. They let kids fall through the cracks. Teachers are constantly moving around to teach different grades. They don't like to listen to the parent's opinion. There is a reason they are in the bottom 50% of schools. They claim they are an outdoor nature school! Not! They have no clue what that is really about.
