Great school besides the new second grade teacher she is a graduate of bethel so I feel there is some special treatment, she's rude and not very friendly like you expect a second grade teacher to be I ask my chid about how the children are treated in class because if she's willing to be so rude and unfriendly to parents I can only imagine how she is with the children.I have witness on a few occasions her attitude towards the children,it is a great school besides that for us.
