Great school for students in the community

This school is terrible. They lack organization, the staff is childish and will exact revenge on children they do not like which are usually the ones who do not agree with everything they say or do. Your child will be regarded as an outcast and a constant problem. Staff here have more absences than the days they teach. During Covid packets were provided by the district to be completed and the children at this school almost all fell short of understanding the basic demands and instructions given. Adding insult to injury with poor testing scores among other things there seems to be a nasty issue the district has been hiding in regards to birth years so they've been placing children in the incorrect days only to pull them and place them in the correct grades when they catch it in a audit years later. Many children are in two grades simultaneously which I have never heard of or seen anywhere before. They will claim to support the child to catch them up to where they should've been but the truth is they do no such thing. In fact they place them where they should've been and leave them to fend for themselves. Please do not send your children here if you can avoid it and if possible don't bother with the Newark School District period.

This school has an excellent Principle and teachers working together with its students. This school has been consistently increasing its state test scores. It seems like one big family. All the students help each other and admire and respect their principle, its teachers and staff. Excellent school that I highly reccomend.

Bullying, bullying, bullying!!! Stay away from this school and the entire district if you could. I reported a severe case of bullying against a special needs child, and the school administration nor the supeintendents did anything to protect the child. Observed children screaming at teachers and students calling other students names and teacher just looked the other way. Save your child therapy and go somewhere else. It could not be worse than here.
