Monday, October 1, 2018

This school lacks good quality leadership. The principal does not discipline students, so it has become a war zone. There are daily fights and constant chaos in the classrooms. The teachers have very low morale and are not empowered by the principal. Unless the district steps up and replaces the principal, this school will close in a few years because everyone is going to pull their children out of this school. It is unsafe, and there is very little learning that happens within the school day due to the constant disruption by students. Do not send your children to this school. Close Quote
