The front staff here are the worst, I sat in the front one day waiting on my nephew and they were just sitting there talking about somebody child and the parent. They literally kept going as if I wasn't even sitting there, I can't say the school is bad but the staff ain't hitting on nothing.

My children have really come up in their grades at this school and they really like it. Im not to happy for the community, but the school is great.
