Look at the facts people. Most of the parents picking up their kids do not speak English and the Free & reduced lunches should give you a clue as to what this school is all about. We moved from KC without a clue as to where to move to in the Orlando area so this is where we ended up. I wish I had known about SchoolDigger a year and a half ago!! Close Quote
