What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, June 24, 2011

The teachers at this school are hard working and willing to go the extra mile to help out the students. I do not care for the principal as she seems to have her own agenda and often does not reflect the best interest of the students and their education.

MOST of the students receive free and reduced lunch. The PTA is not as strong but is growing steadily. Close Quote
