DO NOT send your child to this school, itÂ’s violent, with a bad community, and hateful teachers and staff. Security is disrespectful along with teachers to students. I hated it here everyday and still do to this day

We just moved into the neighborhood and we have had a good experience so far. They keep me informed about what is going on with my child and seem to enjoy motivating the kids about learning. There are things that need work, however I believe that with increased parent support the school would be in a much better place.
