This school is in BIG trouble overall. Many of the good teachers have left due to lack of support from the Leadership there aka: Hannah - Principal. She is in need of serious help and guidance. She has no clue how to lead and run a school of this nature. The teachers I have experienced there did their best with little to no support. Many of the strong ones have gone elsewhere. How much worse do things need to get there for removal of and replacement of a different leader to get things corrected?? Please Superintendent of schools!!! School board! ETC> ETC> Get someone to that school before someone is badly hurt!!!

2012-2013 & 2013-2014 school years There is a mix of good and bad teachers but mostly bad. There is little to NO learning being done because of the class sizes, leadership and curriculum ( which teachers dislike, don't even understand and those who do have trouble explaining it). Most of the classes are out of control and by the time the teachers start to teach there is no time left. The recesses are poorly supervised. They have little to no time to finish their food during lunch time because they are rushed outside. The PE coach was great but has now retired. The GYM & class sizes is a sad excuse for the amount of children that attend. Principal is horrible and has no concern for student education, safety or anything else but herself. She is not respected by her staff or students because of her lack of leadership skills. She does not consider a child being verbally or physically attacked on a daily basis getting bullied (she thinks it's the one getting attacked fault). Kids have brought weapons and drugs to this school but have had nothing done to them. Reporting from students, teachers & parents is ignored by her. This school need new leadership or there is no chance for it.
