When I was in pre-k I went to this school. I am now in a magnet school, and I am going to a gifted center. This school has led me to be the genius i am today. I am currently in the 4th grade. And I still remember the good teachers at this school. I would definitely recommend this school. 5 stars.

This is the worst school my kids have went to half of the teachers have attitudes most of the time the other half looks clueless and confused they let anybody become a teacher the principal gossips and thinks she's boujee with her high bun pony tail

Most of our teachers are effective with the students but there are times when we have to make adjustments depending on students' needs
Posted: May 4, 2016
I feel that they are given right amount of homework. There are times where students may need additional work in areas that they may not be so successful at and teachers and staff offer additional support

They teach students characteristics that they will be able to use in life to be successful leaders
Posted: May 4, 2016
Our principals are great leaders. Teachers and staff members strive to make sure all students succeed.

For a school being in the "undesirable" part of town, my 4 year old has excelled. Learning to count in Spanish, learning shapes such as rhombus, the enthusiasm the kids express is amazing. The teachers must be doing something right. They may not have funds for field trips but they make the best at what they are given. I couldn't expect any more for a public school system.
