Horrible, the people don’t care about the students or parents at all. Trying to take out a child out of the school is horrible since everyone want to take out their children out. Horrible with handicap accessible, contacted the distract about issues with office staff I’m hoping to hear back soon. I was a student there when I was younger and it was the worst decision for my younger sister and little sister in law to go there. Everything about bullying is true, the school does not get any better and I’m sure it will never get better. Should be shut down since they don’t even want to be there. Every issue that happens always come from the faculty and they don’t even fix the problems they create and then blame the parents for their own mistakes. If you can try putting your children’s at another school please do

The most unfriendliest place on earth. Gloom and doom pervades the air. The look of dejection and somber expressions on the faces of the teachers and children is reminiscent of a Soviet-Era Gulag. Any event and this school seems contrived and forced as if to just to claim that it was done. The highest scores for this school were given years ago. This school has deteriorated exponentially in the past years. The best and brightest are fleeing in droves. The best I did is to get my niece and nephews out of there.

This school is overpopulated and the lines in the cafeteria are unbelievable. The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. You'll find the same garbage for days because the custodial staff is ineffective. The administrators are aloof and a couple just appear to want to show-off their high heels. The good teachers that care about the students are leaving the school. This school will group the high performing students in one class and assign it to the same teachers over and over. They have illegal fund-raisers, cancel classes instead of getting substitutes and some teachers give out thick packets for homework without teaching the students how to do them. This has to be the most unfriendliest and toxic school in the county.

I used to attend this elementary, never mind how long ago, but I was always extremely satisfied by the teachers and the administration. They always cared about true education. If Dr. Cole ever reads this or one of her peers, please express a thank you to her! She was the definition of a great educator. One of many in that school. - graduate of the '97 :) - I truly could not understand a 2???? I guess my advise to any parent - GET INVOLVED!

This school is so disorganized! This school's administration tells you one thing and does not get on the ball until yo call region office to get their cooperation. Parents, if you can move to another community, please do so. Unfortunately, I cannot move to a better neighborhood but this school is ridiculous! They teach students in both english and spanish and when you request that your child be taught in his primary language, they scoff at the fact that you don't speak spanish even if you yourself do not speak spanish fluently. Children do not come first in this school. It is Administrators, then teachers, then parents, then children. It goes against their whole teaching motto. What a joke! I cannot wait till I am able to leave with my son from this school!
