Great Staff, Awesome Teachers very hands approach and parent involve orientated. Principal intentions are in the right place but not empathetic, but resources very disorganized, which can create hectic outcomes with parents. Contributing to the destruction of foundation needed to raise school overall ranking to top 10% in the state. Also informed of Lack of summer academics programs to actually help a student that struggles in all grades. Several locations of school but no funding of summer academics, along with no efficient parking to accommodate parents with dropping off, and picking up children from school.

The school is old and run down. The administration seems to be disorganized because meetings and activities get cancelled at the last minute. The test scores are low and there is no teacher accountability. I definately would NOT recommend this substandard school.
