This isn't a review but I live in this neighborhood and my children are all grown. I noticed that on the website the scores and science were somewhat lower based on the average. If it becomes necessary, I am more than happy to volunteer on my days off from work for a few hours if that would help. I have a bachelor's of science and I'm also pretty good in math. I used to volunteer when my children were younger at their elementary school. This was also before I went to college. My name is Cynthia Waller, if you are interested you can email me wallercynthia9679@gmail.com.

Below average. Even though the year just started, first impressions are important and Booker T have shown my wife and I any peace of mind the our children's future will be bright in their hands. #concernedparent

My daughter is in kindergarten and the teacher told me that she don't give homework and never have. How can we as parents understand and help our kids with there curriculum at home if there's not material sent by the teacher? Our children need to be pushed more to achieve their full potential at this school. My family and I moved here from Washington D.C. and I must say that their curriculum is years ahead of the one at Booker T and I'm sure of the others in the region. I fear my kids are going to be bored and not have the minds tested a little. #concernedparent
