Teachers and staff are warm and welcoming. They care about the happiness and wellbeing of all students attending. The teachers and staff foster and model a kind and caring community spirit. The school does have a zero tolerance for conduct/behavioral issues which keep students/staff safe and decrease learning distractions. This is a very good attribute. I love being a part of this school community.

Spoiled food, food poisoning, teachers who do not speak english, or broken english, kids getting attacked by homosexuals, kids attacked walking home, kids do not learn here, they were an F rated school and they are centrally located in the middle of a low income housing projects. Need I say more. This school is more like a boot camp than a school. You either shut up and behave or they (the Administration) will gang up on your kid. If your kid says anything to you about them being harassed by teacher, and peers or people in the office. Believe them, i went to that school, they are using something called zero tolerance, but the zero tolerance is shut up or we will give you riddlin or adderal. All of my kids went to this school and they will make up stuff on your kid so that they can get extra money for special needs kids. This school should have been shut down a long time ago. BEWARE, go to any school but this one. Your kid will not learn here.
