A student shot two girls on campus of this school! How horrifying this is, even though fortunately there were no serious injuries.

This school is horrible. My son is in honors and very unhappy. I tried to get him into a charter school but the front desk staff claims to have no records of him! Not only are the children horrible here but the staff is very unhelpful in every aspect. Don't expect anything from the principal, teachers, social workers or anyone. Do not enroll your child here. We are currently looking to move JUST to get our son in a better school.
