What school district is Sixth Street Elementary School part of?
School principal and especially the school secretary are Horrible! Teachers and staff are also extremely bad! The only bright spot in this dark abyss is the school counsellor who is shining light on a dark, dark background. My child HATED THE PLACE!!!....... She has loved school as soon as she left this one and has been on the honor roll ever since leaving 6th St Elementary. What a terrible time in both of our lives. So disheartening to have her cry about having to attend a terrible school each day for an entire year !
