Poor administration and intervention techniques implemented all the way to the Paterson Board of Education in handing serious & complicated issues with student conflict, peer pressure, teasing and taunting and when a child being bullied and then child turns somewhat bully by having similar actions that can almost identify with a bullying student. It escalates due to the environmental setting and the child's present teasers and taunters etc are still present doing the same things to the child. Things get worst and there's lot's of unfulfilled promises from the Paterson Board of Education, resulting in repeated incidents and suspensions. No real true lasting solutions within this school district. A Security guard attacks this child and was seen attacking another student physically - only to be investigated and then put back to work at the school the next day though a police report was file. The administration is also shrewd by reporting courageous and firm parents with integrity and dignity to DFYS on purpose and making false accusations to make the parents stop making complaints to the Board of Education exposing their unjust system and school staff.

Great school, Derrick Hoff the Principal; Man made to the education of our children, devoted entirely to the good administration of the school ... You can always see him participating in the organization and the safety of our children .... Teachers give parents participation and we kept informed of the progress of children ... This is a school where I would like my children to study up to the high school... The administration at this school, commands respect and good values for the formation of our children...I recomment it.
