This school is the worst the vice principal is petty and needs to take some classes in how to deal with kids she just tends to call parents to pick them up . You can never get ahold of the principal she’s MIA most of the time. Every staff member here is related to eachother and to some of the kids so there is a lot of favoritism. The vice principal also never answers her phone half of the time and only calls parents when their child does something but not when something’s done to them. She’s a big problem in this school. Also they had changed the bell schedule to 8:20 due to the high traffic volume but randomly from 1 day to the other they changed it to 8:15 which caused a whole line of late students. They also rush the students at lunch time so they have to eat their food fast and half the time cannot finish the fool meal.

My child is in the special education program with this school and by far it has been the worst decision of taking my child to this school the office staff is terrible and let’s not talk about how rude and unprofessional the vice principal is as well as the nurse, I ask staff about my child’s school day and I never get a straight answer nor do I know if my child are giving the fact that my child is non-verbal, I get Zero insight / information of what goes on in the classroom my child got an absolute scary rash teacher nor the “ paras” took accountability for their actions my child has been in pain and itch because of their negligence of diaper change when I go in the office I always get mean mugged and a scuffle from staff would definitely NOT recommend signing up your child to this school!!!!!

I have taken my student for past 2 years as this is the place they offer Dual Language and so far have done an excellent. My student continues to be doing good with 3 awards in academics in prior 2 years. My student loves the after school program, that also goes above and beyond with kind staff and doing things for its students and their families. Always room for school to grow but they are doing the best they can.

This is by far the worst school that i have ever had to put my children in . There's so much bullying by students and staff . There is no motivation for the children. They help parents more then they help the students. There's NEVER do they have special events or gathering or anything in that nature. The after school program is way more organized and 100% of an example how that school should be the principal needs to quit spending her time on making tick tock videos and do her job
