Open Quote This school has been very disappointing. They've created a wonderful community, unfortunately they forgot to include education! My child went from a g&T student to scoring a 2 on the standardized tests. Their charter should be revoked, children are not being educated and there is no accountability for parent concerns.

Open Quote This school has problems with bullying and performance and discipline the teachers and the principal do not know how to control the kids. All they do is call the parents and suspend the kids everyday..
They only get a little hw for the week
My students scores have dropped drastically since he went to this damn school. They should shut it down Close Quote
