The teachers work hard, the kids respond . It's a tough area but the school is a beacon of learning and hope . It's what a public school used to be. Part of a neighborhood and active in it. Hard working ,responsive administrators and the teachers are among the best in the District. Great little kids from tough backgrounds, but they learn and and they work to learn more . They are gaining all the time . Close Quote
