Armour is an excellent neighborhood school! As a kindergarten parent, I've been very impressed with my son's academic progress in a short period of time. The school environment is warm and empathetic, and my son's teacher is communicative and responsive to my questions and concerns. My kiddo clearly feels safe and comfortable at school and looks forward to the school day. The school's academic performance metrics have improved significantly under Principal Chuu's leadership, and she has secured significant resources to fund brand new STEM labs that are used by all grade levels. I'm confident that Armour will be a great place for my son to attend K-8 and am very pleased to have a top-shelf neighborhood school so close to our home.

I have been trying to obtain a simple code for the parent portal since SEPTEMBER 2016 to help my niece monitor her son's grades. They can't even return a simple phone call. My nephew, who graduated from there in 2015, is currently repeating 9th grade in High School... they pushed him thru 7th to 8th with failing grades then he just managed to eke out the "C" required to graduate since 8th is a bench-mark grade... had to make the school look good. 2nd nephew there isn't doing much better: had to attend summer school to graduate from 6th to 7th grade and he, like his brother, will flunk his way into 8th... unprepared to attend High School just like his older brother.... Sheesh. Whatever happened to sending kids to summer school when they fail to pass ANY grade not just 3rd, 6th and 8th grades??
