It happens virtually every day at this school.

The epitome of an inner city school. Fighting, bullying, disruptions, chaotic hallways, and disrespect are commonplace at this school. Teachers get no support for discipline issues and spend more time with that more than actual teaching, hence academic progress is very low. Please look elsewhere if you want your child to have a safe school environment. You're not going to get it here.

They spend more time dealing with discipline issues than actual teaching for the most part. Some of them yell at their students.

It's almost entirely non-existent at this school.

The assistant principal seems to care more than the principal does. Still, it doesn't seem like there's an end in sight for discipline issues here.

Teachers spend more time reigning in unruly students than academics.

Second year that my children have attended this school and everything seems to be okay as far as them learning new things, but they BARELY give homework or advise the parents on how their child is doing until its time for report cards.

The teachers have no support there. The bad kids run that school. Just being passed on. Can't. read or do math . No respect to the teachers. Teachers always breaking up fights every single day.
