What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, May 25, 2018

A principal who is merely counting her days until retirement, most classes with 30+ students, and time wasted on sessions devoted to behavioral training and something called PBIS are just a few of the reasons why this school is ill-suited for meaningful academic achievement. With very weak administrative oversight, classroom discipline is oftentimes abysmal within the presence of teacher apathy. The culture of this school is more acidic than lemon juice. Needless to say, DO NOT allow your children to see foot in this school! Close Quote
