Most of the office administrators and Principals are rude and inconsiderate. I would not recommend this school to no one. The District really need to send a decoy to the school to witness the accusations that people are reporting.

I am EXTREMELY pleased with the school my daughter attends. Not only do they treat her with respect, but they also care for her. From the administration to the security guards, and the children. My daughter is learning a lot and excited about the learning. I have zero complaints or concerns.

My child has been going here since she started her education and I am proud! She is now moving on to middle school with a great foundation. She loves all of her teachers, especially Ms. Sullivan. They all welcome her calls and have always made it clear that they are here for her EVERY step of the way. They've challenged, corrected and most of all encouraged her. From Mr. Morris to now, Mr. Robinson these principals rock!!! People like Mrs. Mesa, Mrs. Desiree, Mrs. Holden, Mrs. Rose-Wright, Dr. Ferguson, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Rosario, Ms. Sullivan, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Jones, Ms. Boatswain, Coach Harris, Ms. Montero amongst others are the true MVP's. THANK YOU for being such a huge part of her village!

Yes when kids come home from school, they can't even go outside to play.....and they stay after school for after school programs...and then they still don't have a life to live as children.....

I just moved near by, this School would be my children's home School. My oldest son has had a lot of problems in the past year such as witnessing and suffering the separation of his dad and me. He's also under psychiatric and therapy care. I wanted to know if this is a good School that has special Ed classes for children like mine and much more...Can anyone help?? I would appreciate it! Thanks. A concerned mother of three.

Mr.Morris is a great principal at this school. They don't tolerate disruptive behavior or bullying. The staff is good and the kids learn.

My son did prek last year and except for the teacher that was great everything else was horrible. He started kindergarten yesterday and im already very upset at this school. The principal is very irresponsible and doesnt care about the kids at all. Kids are left unattended at the cafeteria in the morning until the teachers pick them up. There is no communication between teachers and parents and we are not allowed anywhere in the school. I dont even know how my sons classroom looks like. Horrible school and worst principal EVER!!!

This school is terrible!! I only been their for 2 months and almost gone into a fight 2 times!!! The kids talk bad in front of the teachers face the the teachers always go and say somthing back!! The caffateria has MILLIONS of flies in their (ps thats where the fights start) in P.E. we NEVER do the exersizes so that means we have a LAZY coach she never shows us what to do even if your a new student!!!!! If you hear your kid cursing .......then he\she was hanging with the bad kids.the office people, all they do is just wright you up if you just gotten into a fight (no what happen just that)!!!! And now they have eagle dollors if you child behaves its suppose to Make the kids feel jealous then behave good but.....nope! Dosnt work! The ONLY great teachers are the music teacher &the art teacher.so overall this school is very terrible please DONT DONT DONT ! Bring him\her here!!!

This school is very unorganized.They never have their story straight, and go to other student for guidance of situations that may arise.They do not have proper staffing nor passing procedures from class to class.My child was 8 in the 3rd grade and was bullied the whole yr.When i went to the school multiple times to address it, and they did nothing to help. Shortly after my son got into two fights last yr, and can you believe i wasnt even contacted?This is just plain ridiculous.Needless to say my son does not attend this school anymore, and he has went his whole 4th grade yr at a school that actually pays attention to the students and cares about them learning!!!
