Hello my son goes to this school and every day all he tells me is that he gets bullied all the time and they sit right next to him in class and he asks if he can move seats and he tells the teacher why but he said they will not let him move and they talk to that student and the kid still bully's him every day.

The teachers are great and go above and beyond for their students. The admin in the building is terrible. Many teachers are resigning early, finding jobs in a different district, and being let go by the Principal.
