I recently pulled my daughter out of the school, our issue is with the principal Mrs Shirley & the spineless teachers that won't stand up to her on behalf of their thriving students. My daughter was called in for an incident, which didn't happen at school or wasn't done with malicious intent, in fact she didn't even know what the word meant, (I'm not making an excuse for my daughter it was wrong) but I know my daughter, her character & the thriving student that she is. Mrs Shirley & mr Jose Hernandez called her into the office, without calling her parents or the other parents involved & interrogated her at 11yrs old. Mrs Shirley doesn't know my daughter or her character but was quick to judge & pose a sentence deemed for humiliation "guilty". We are now home schooling our daughter & in speaking to other parents everyone who has encountered mrs Shirley have nothing good to say. Be involved don't let your kids be bullied or humiliated at the expense of a dictating principal. Lesson learned.

This review is solely on the organization of the student drop off section. Or lack of i should say. You have cars swerving in and out  of the designated lane; cars parking in the lane. There is no school staff there to take the children out of the cars so you have a faster smoother flow. It's irritating. Please please put more focus on this issue. Not only is it being managed wrong, it's DANGEROUS!!!!! Here's an idea, put cones blocking the left lane so all cars have to drive through the right lane, do not let cars park in the lane, do not let the public park in those parking spaces designated for school staff. Control your parents more, you're letting them do whatever they want. I'm a parent and I'm complaining about this

This is a good school. It was better unser the previous principal. Lack of understanding of child development on the part of the administration. Good kids get in trouble while the troubled kids lack support and are allowed to continue to make poor choices
