Lots of excuses after Covid to why these children are behind in reading and math. Community comes together well, million dollars homes surround the area but a new playground and a Arts teacher cannot possibly make the school as great as claimed. Teachers are new with limited skills or a revolving door. Pushing the curriculum as the children fall behind. Close Quote

Not a great school if your child is gifted or has special needs. Close Quote
