I finished elementary with the school and this school is a school that likes to talk down to their students and make them feel bad me coming from experience I definitely would not let my kid go here.

We have been blown away by this school. We had very low expectations (based on its test scores), but have found a thriving community that includes many English language learners. My kids are so happy there!
