This school deserves to be shutdown I don't care what these teachers say.
This school gives my 3 kids nightmares and hellscapes.

Mrs. Shari Guerra just as bad as the previous principal if not worse. My daughter was assaulted and what does the principal do suspend my daughter instead of worrying about her safety. She was very disrespectful to me and kicked me out of her office for asking her to call me by my name instead the wrong name over and over. It's no even like she was mispronouncing my name she was calling me a different name completely even after I told her my name and how to pronounce it.

The staff and principal at this school are very disrespectful the do not treat parents nor the students with respect. It's been 2months my child has been having a bullying problem and nothing has been done about it. The principal does not return any of our calls and the teacher is very ignorant. The front office are very rude. If you want your child to succeed and get the education they deserve do not bring them here.

The front office has no respect for parents, they don't smile or greet anyone, they do not make anyone feel welcome, you walk in the office and they let you just stand their for a while before they acknowledge you are their.... and they show no respect for the students yelling at them and making them feel less important.The principal does not return any messages and is also very rude. I do not like nor appreciate the staff they have lost my respect . Next year my child will be attending a different school.

School needs teachers that care and staff that shows respect. Parents please have a talk with your child and let them know you are here for them. Teachers are not suppose to push kids around or put their hands on students. Yelling or arguing with students will not make a situation better. OUR CHILDREN ARE NO ANGELS but we need to show them better ways of solving a problem...at home we are their role models at school teachers n other staff are their role models...teach respect n u will earn respect. ..
