Hey abusive my baby really bad now he is in hospital fighting for his life
I have 2 boys attending this school and I tell you this school is horrible at handling Bullying and teachers communicating back to parents, bribing kids woth field days to get better test scores, if they dont male over 80 they dont get to participate, kids never go on field trips, I visited several times and seen nothing up teachers putting up YouTube songs/videos for the kids not even teaching them, no home work hardly, they let parents know the day of events taking place rather than days before, had one of my sons in public school and they place was way better than this place, graffiti all over the school buildings and dumped couches in entrance that have been present for over 4 months, they do not maintain the facility at all as far as cleaning up the graffiti and cutting the grass
I was a student 8th grade at that school the principle is good but the assistant principle is horrible and thinks she can talk to peoples kids anyway she wants to. Teachers there are not good because they never look take the students side serious. The principle is almost never there and the school is very racist and don’t take racism serious I was called racial slurs and the teachers never took it serious and only gave the student a slap on the wrist. The assistant principle treats kids who is “ bad” like gold and it’s mainly the boys (weird) she gives them treats and good kids never get anything. The admin likes to cover their tracks when talking to parents this is a school I wouldn’t recommend one very good teacher is ms occonor she is a very good listener and leader the rest of the teachers are bad. Julia Sean,( assistant principal) Jose Galvan (admin) Victoria spencer (teacher) Athena kovner (teacher). They treat students like they own them or they are higher than them so they are supposed to be scared many of times I could’ve took that school to court but by the grace of god I let it go and I’m telling you guys to spread awareness about this school. Don’t let your kids go.
Pretty decent. The teachers are ways very welcoming. They are great with my pre k3 student. Helped the transition into school very easy. My student is learning a lot and gets along well with others.
Great school for children of all abilities. They focus on the kid not the dollar. Great educational setting and very safe environment.
