The principal and one of the assistant principals at this school are absolutely awful and need to go. They do not care about the safety of your child at all they create a toxic school environment if your child has an iep or 504 you can expect horrible accommodations the classroom teachers that we have had have been amazing however the principal herself needs to be fired at this point she is just awful Close Quote
