I would like to rate this school with a zero and there completely is no Magnet about it. It is very unfortunate to see this school dropped to just another school. I wish the community would open the their eyes and demand a better quality of education for the children. Ever since the school superintendent Ms. Plasencia arrived to this district and brought her friend Ms. Pryce as school principal and made a circus out this place. Please take your children somewhere else

My son was tested also for "magnet " and there is nothing "magnet'" about this school. As you can see, the school's test results have gone down since the principal, Mrs. Avellino, took over. My child now suffers.
