This school does a terrible job of communicating with families. They ONLY send notes home and have no online access or applications to get information out to families promptly. With technology use at our finger tips mass emails should be easy. In addition, when there are handouts about events at the school no one knows who to contact and how the event will be run. They send out information last minute the day before something happens instead of multiple days notice. All the teachers are not held to same expectations. Every teacher does their own things that seems best to them. In terms of safety the doors are securely locked however the cameras in the halls do not work.

best school in Roosevelt. Devoted principal & outstanding teachers.Students usually score high on their academic & performance test , This school has made AYP for the past 19 years. Perhaps the greatest yearly culminating activity for the graduates(5THgr) is their trip to Disney World.
