I am a parent, this school offers alot of parental involvement and encourages parents participation. We have to embrace and attend the programs. When I attended the programs and meetings, I was surprised to see the number of parents not in attendance. I am very pleased with this school, my child is graduating and passed all of her milestone exams. You are always going to have those students that's going to be a problem, As parents, we have to police our own children by ensuring they are not part of the problem but part of the solution.

As a parent it doesn't seem the school does not want parent involvement. The school doesn't seem organized. It's even difficult to get someone to pick up the school phone line. When you call you normally have to call several times to get anyone. Teachers do not return calls when you leave messages on their individual voicemails. Too much disruption in the classroom among students who are causing problems. From talking with my child and their friends that attend most students do not like the school. They may like some of the teachers but overall don't like the school.
