Second grade teacher looks for reasons to call CPS if your child has more than one assignment not handed in on time. Abusing the already stressed out child protective program to bully parents is not ok! Terrible experience with staff and CPS case completely unfounded! Close Quote

Children get bullied and nothing gets done about it. Teachers don't care. Close Quote

Amazing teachers, quality leadership and very active PTA. This school seems to prepare students for middle school and encourages socialization and responsibility. Close Quote
