i think that this school is wounderful and that it's not only the teachers but the parents that needs to be involved in what goes on at their kids school and with their education

This is the worst school that my child has ever been in. It has the worst supervision from school personel that I have ever seen. The school seems to think that bully's are fine as long as there is an excuse it's ok to harm another child . The principal never has time for concerned parents. Bully's are not disciplined for there abusive behavior.

My son is currently in second grade and I have had several problems with the school. My child has had three different classroom teachers this year alone! I find them extremely disorganized and working amid chaos. I am also dissatisfied with the curriculum. I am removing my son ASAP.The administration is friendly and willing to help.

My grandchild has been going to this school for the past 3 years and I have a few complaints. First of all I have not been impressed with the quality of teachers at this school. Many are new teachers that seem to lack any experience with children. I have strongly suggested to the parents to take him out of this school.

My child is in the 2nd grade now at Hornets Nest and has been there since Kindergaten. I must say that they did have a change and got a new principal whom I have met once and have seen around the school a few times and the little time I have seen her she seems to be friendly and I must say the school is in tip top shape as was before. Personally so far the teachers that my daughter had and have are extremely wonderful and very knowledgeable and the curriculars that are being taught from Math to Reading are just great. My daughter loves going to that school and is learning more everyday. So I just want to give this school an A+ for overall. Also I have to say this my child goes to the before school program and it is the best also.
