I have a few issues with this school. They don't allow the children to change for gym. They don't have tutoring for children who need help. They only allow certain children to attend after school programs. Every since child has attended this school she has been getting terrible grades. Before she transferred from Disney II she was making straight A's. It's not clean. The food is horrible (my daughter says). It's only about 4% black and 96% Hispanic. My child is the only black child (besides her teacher) in her class. I just need to get her out of this school!!!

When I used to come here I really enjoyed the company of the teachers. Sure there were teachers I really didn't like, but there were teachers who actually cared. These are people who try to assist you whenever you're struggling with anything. That's why I'll never forget 5th grade....that's was my most favorite year by far. I have very few complaints about this school, and they're pretty major. From my experience being in there, I really wasn't a big fan of the many bad neighborhoods this school was surrounded by. I was bullied very few times, but that was because I was a very reserved kid, but I saw people who had it worse sadly. Overall I liked this school, the library, computer lab, and the auditorium and I had fond memories while I was there.

I once was a student at this school. I have the most wonderful memories of this beautiful school, It had everything from good teachers, classrooms full of necessary materials,and even a basquetball court were I trained with my basketball team and my best friend,the Art teacher. He thought me how to draw,paint and most of all how to appreciate Art. I hope he hasint forgoten me beacause i havint. I plan to one day return to ths school and visit all of my old teacher,the only thing stoping me is my age,im 14 years old. But one thing is for sure,im coming back! Greattings from Mexico S.L.P.
