This school is Great but the teachers and some students are bullies and they’re mean. Sometimes it’s about the inside not the outside. I think this school is very recommended and respectful. you should try this school. Me moving on to 6th grade I have a lot of experience with this school. I have been there since pre-k -5th grade!

As I said earlier on they greet the children with smiles and hugs. They have initiated work ethics by appointing children to put on their colors to go around to pick up recyclables from each classroom before their day is even started , the principal insists on children stopping in the cafeteria for breakfast if they did not eat at home. Respect is already at its best here in this school

SO FAR I BASE THE LEADERSHIP ON THE PRINCIPAL. AND WHAT I HAVE WITNESSED IS HIM INSISTING UPON THE LOUD SPEAKER WAS FOR THE CHILDREN TO EAT BREAKFAST BEFORE STARTING THE LONG DAY AHEAD.

They are already covered for the bi-lingual students if their is a communication gap, and for the children of English speaking they have someone for them as well to aid them

my child has not attended long enough for me to answer this question but I can't imagine that this situation exists

homework that is given out is explained to parent how to stay in the teaching guidelines of how they are taught to approach the math for example. This is good to know so the child is not confused when doing the homework outside of the school.

first off they greet their students with smiles and hugs which is a very important thing to my child. she was made to feel comfortable. the children are less confrontational and less likely to suffer bullying which makes for a great learning atmosphere.
