If you want your child to succeed, don't send them here. There are a lot of minority children that attend this school, and from my experience, there set up to fail. No help. No concern. The teachers could care less whether the child passes or not. Voicing your concern doesn't do much, it's basically brushed under the rug. I give this school 2 stars, and that's me being nice.
