The school is disappearing! Students population in 2002 was about 1000 compared to 2010 to about 400. and this is a K-8 schools! Where are the kids? So it means that there must be a small student/teacher ratio, then how come the students are failing to improve academically? Every year the school takes a step back and goes from bad to worse!

The teacher turnover is horrendous!!!
For the academic year 2010-2011 nearly 25 out of 41 teachers left the school.
Has a horrible administration run by Vincent K. Resto whose priority is to go up his professional ladder rather than to provide a fair education to the students. Close Quote
