The school advertised a program that will teach students Spanish. The first year vmy child attended, the program was taught. Now they have gone away with that program. The school does not serve the food on it's daily blunch menu. There have been many days that they have served a meal called "THE MASCOT MEAL" which does not include meat. The principal is horrible.

This is a wonderful neighborhood school. Do not let it's aging exterior sway you from this wonderful little school. The warmth inside from the faculty and staff is beyond compare. The love and compassion found inside cannot be found elsewhere. From the administrators to the lunchroom and janitorial staff - the love and pride for this campus cannot be denied! True professionalism with a heart lies within these old doors! Close Quote
