“Omg dont talk about my school that way because there is a huge inviornment on keeping kids off drugs, to stop bulling, and tons of after school programs or be 4 school programs. There is somthing for everyone. There arent any cliques like the other moms said and there is no bulling at all. Because its such a small school that everyone know what everyone does. Like if someone was on drugs or if someone likes someone then everyone would know! i know there is no bulling because none of my friends are bullied or bully cause its sucha small school! small mya be bad but in this case its excellent! we get laptops too. In fact our school is sooo good that they give us apple laptops with a camera! im talking fannnncccyyy! so please please dont talk about my school that way... My school is da bomb!”

“Great teacher involvement. Teachers really do care if your child needs help. May need more involvement with the bullies.”

“i think this school is the best school in the world. i absolutely loves it here. the teachers are the coolest. most of them are young and fun and get in touch with the students. its fun yet we learn a whole lot. when it comes to programs, i am in art, music, and basketball team all at the same time and she still manages her grades. i think that this school has great parent involvement and independence should win awards because of how awesome this school really is.”
