Parent pick up is a mess, they need to come up with a better system. You can't car pick up the kids if the bus is in front of you. If the bus is late you need to wait for the bus to come and leave before you can pick up your child. The busses should be lined up somewhere else. You also have the option to get out of your car and pick them up, but the problem with that, there aren't enough parking spaces!! Mrs Arrowood is the rudest lady I've ever dealt with at a school. The One day that I'm late to pick up my kids, this rude lady decides to threaten me to call CPS and Cops. When I told her to go ahead, she decides to tell me to get out as she is pointing her skinny, wrinkled finger at my face. I have never been treated with such disrespect! Rude, racist, abusive, bully (administrative assistant). She probably had a rough day, she needs to go take a walk, get a vacation, or simply find a new attitude. read more

We had an absolute nightmare of an experience here. My son went from a fun go lucky kid who absolutely adored and enjoyed going to school to dreading it. Watching the joy leave his soul and coming home in tears several times a week was heart wrenching. Incidents were repeatedly reported to the principle Randy Eigner. If the incidents were not caught on "camera" they were unsubstantiated and nothing was done. They claim to be a PBIS school which values teaching conflict management skills and coping skills. When my 7 year old (yes I said 7) got into a physical altercation with another child he was immediately suspended for 2 days. This was a first time behavioral incident. No one was injured. When asked what PBIS principles were tried to help teach the children how to conflict manage more effectively and restore the peace that they had disrupted, the principle stated that "they don't have to do that and that it's just the recommendation." When I asked what Mr. Eigner was expecting the children to learn from being suspended for 2 days his answer was concerning. He said "they weren't supposed to learn anything but that they were to be made an example of that the school doesn't tolerate such behavior." Again, my child is 7! There were other concerning and unsatisfactory answers to our questions regarding the incident. There were tons of initial redflags along the way before this incident, and I should have listened to my mommy instincts and I didn't. I just hope no other family is put through the nightmare that ours was with this school. The school staff does not seem to be familiar with current evidenced based practices in classroom education nor in disciplinary methods. As professionals they are obligated and expected to be up to date with current research in childhood development and education and this just wasn't our experience. read more

The teachers here are, like every other school, hit or miss. When they hit they hit wonderfully, when they miss they miss horribly. Trying to base a review on the teachers employed by this school is hard because every parent has different expectations and different experiences. What I will cover is the messy (and somewhat dangerous) system that is student drop off and pick up. The parking lot is obviously not designed for even a small fraction of their current student base. Combined with no parking zones on most of the road, a lack of communication between staff outside and a 'free for all' system you are left with cars and people attempting to occupy each other's spaces frequently. The school, instead of devising a concise plan for the pick up and drop off, seems to be ignoring it in hopes that a parent/child doesn't get hurt in this process. Actually, the school seems to go out of its way to make the problem worse: Scheduling school events for all grades at the same time leaving the surrounding area swamped with foot and car traffic, cars parked in dangerous locations, etc. I am focusing on this issue because, while I have complained about this privately for some time, I almost was hit again today. (Once a parent almost ran over my wife and youngest children during an event, missing them only because I was far enough back with my oldest to shout out a warning) Quality of education is very important, but so is the safety of the children. They need to fix this issue before someone gets hurt. read more

Wonderful school. My Grandchildren have had amazing teachers that certainly go the extra mile. Office staff is great also. Seems like they know every child by name. Lots of fun extra activities for kids and parents . Alot of effort is put in to see that the kids succeed. I've seen happy children there for 7 years. read more
