I feel my child is discriminmated against because of his race at this school. It's black history month and not a singled poster involving this amazing month, but an anger management poster with all black kids on it. This gives you an insight on what my kid and others have to expierience Close Quote

The school has high education standards. The 8th grade curriculum is so advanced that I can compare to a freshman year of high school. Kids are happy and faculty is well rounded. Close Quote
