Open Quote I am very proud of this school that my child attends. Close Quote

Open Quote Just a wonderful school with a group of Professional teachers, who ensure that the learning objectives are met. My daughter is above her grade level now in grade 1 with both teacher/parent communication and hard work. We've agreed to maintain her above grade level when she transfers to grade 2. I just Love it there. Keep up the good work. Close Quote

Open Quote Above & Beyond regarding standards, and like any school if the staff and teachers like you, your child is favored. My daughter is doing ok, located in Brownsville its understandable their extreme code of conduct. Also understand, you will not get much communication, other than, "these are the rules and guidelines". Know your parental rights before acceptance. My daughter claims more troubled and suspended students than behaved. Parent involvement can be better, I get inside scoop from parents, I like that. Also, I am concerned about the number of special ed students and their behaviors. Hope they get it together or accept less students. Majority of teachers provide heartfelt assistance, but higher staff are more rigorous. Good Luck!! Close Quote
