What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, November 30, 2011

The school used to be a good one when it first opened but is now overrun by inner-city kids and staff. The principal is oblivious to what's going on around him, and the the teachers are just there for the money. If you have the opportunity to take your child elsewhere do so. By the way, and to reinforce what another parent wrote, the school has a big bullying problem and no one seems to care. There's no PTO, teachers don't communicate with parents, and every other week there's some kind of fund raiser. It's all about money. Close Quote
