HORRIBLE!. school ceiling started leaking in the cafeteria because instead of worrying about fixing the piping and water in the building they decided to spend money on DOOR ALARMS. which was a complete waste of money considering the fact that the doors would beep nonstop to the point where we had to stop using them. they also invested in putting more cameras in the hallways instead of fixing the toilets that sometimes over flow and stop working!!!

Worst administration, worst teachers , no one cares about learning and obviously the 6/10 explains everything and why the school is going down.

So far, this school seems grossly mismanaged. Administrators do not respond to emails, no one answers the phone, my childs bus ride takes one hour despite the fact that the printed bus schedule says 12 minutes. The district has a transportation department, but no one will answer the phone there either.

My daughter goes to this school, the teachers are all great and the guidance is very supportive. I gave a low rating because the office staff need attitude adjustments, they are never helpful and always act like the phone when it rings is an inconvenience. If I ever explain anything they say rudely please hold transferring the call like their a robot with no emotions.
