I went to this school from 1971 to 1973
Got beat for three years for being white . Horrifying memories of abuse from racist black teachers and black bully students Close Quote

Very professional administrator and staff limited only by a Pennsylvania State legislature that can't seem to arrive at a solution to adequately provide permanent support for large, urban public school systems.
The School District should revisit the current structure of combining middle/ junior high school students with the primary grades as each of those age groups have diverse needs and interests that do not blend well.
Despite these challenges, the highly trained staff (as all teachers are in PA) at this school provide an excellent education to the children whose parents choose to send them there. Close Quote
