The staff that greet the students in the morning that are car riders are very nice. Also the staff at pick up are very kind. My grandson is always having a conversation with them while he waits for me.

There is little to no involvement or communication with parents. Most of the staff seems to have that "I'm just here for a paycheck" attitude, even the principal.

Rude Staff including the Principal. Not well structured. Bilingual education is dominant in this facility/campus.

Not well structured and rude staff. This year will have to take my child out of this school due to some unfairness.
