Since a lot of reviews on here are old I thought Id stop by and let everyone know whats new here. School is locked and secure. No one is getting on campus unless they are supposed to be there. I am honored to be apart of this school even if it is just a short time.

The ratings used to be 2/10. They belong there. This school is horrible. The teachers my son had is horrible downright mean to my son and yelled at me for not being able to talk at pick up as I was in a zoom meeting with my clients planning team. She belittled my son right in front of him with me there. The principle help no accountability and made excuses. The further I took this they saw I wasnt going to stay silent while adults bullied my child. They tried changing their tune but I pulled my child from this school and district.

I did not feel safe having my son go here. Anyone can walk in and out of the school unchecked. There is no organization to the flow of parents or traffic ,and the street isnt marked properly as a school district. A child was hit crossing the street this last year my son went here. there is no school nurse on staff. The teachers ,sadly , are great people and care ,but they are not suppporteed by the school or the sorry exsuses for parents. Over half the school is spanish speaking and its a no child left behind school. I dont recomend this school if your a parent who wants a positive, non gehtto atmoshphere for your child to grow up in. My son had a bully all through out K. and nothing could or would be done about this childs behavior because his culture and origin, and this father refused to except that his son nor his father needed to listen to female teachers therfore his son had no issues. Parents sit and disrupt class with cell phones and loud talking. yell and cus at their childrren, and random mothers and under age children just hang out on school grounds all day. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED !!!!
