This school is not as exceptional as every one claims it to be! My child loved school until we moved to this one. Not only have they been bullied by kids every year but by their teacher Ms. Balluff as well. Avoid Ms. Balluff at all costs!!! She does not have your child's best interest at heart. Not only does she allow bullying to happen right in front of her, but also bullies her kids into ' secret missions' of spying on kids from other classes because of issues with the other teacher. Then she has the kids report back to her as part of the curriculum. My child constantly comes home and tells me how the other class is winning because their teacher cheats, and how the teacher tells lies about Ms. Balluff. My child does not go to school to get involved in adult problems! We have tried several times to contact the principle about these issues with no response. They continue to tell us she's not available and we can leave a message. I'm sure nothing will be done about this teacher just like the so called 'no bully tolerance"" they have. Please if you have to go to this school do not allow your child to be placed in Ms. Balluff's class.
