I don't even know where to begin to affectively discourage anyone from sending their child to this school. The culture needs a complete and total overhaul. The administration is AWFUL - non-supportive, uncaring and disengaged. The environment is one of violence and filthy disrespect and it will make your child a product of it. The principal, assistant principal and especially the counselors NEVER return calls or emails and couldn't care less about the success of your child. Teachers don't respond to your attempts to follow up on your child's progress. You aren't even allowed, let alone invited to view the classrooms during Back to School night. There are no parent teacher conferences and you better be wiling to FIGHT for a meeting with the school to set up any accommodations for an IEP or 504 plan. I would like to give praise to Alexandra Pereyr and Mr. Fisher for showing kindness and actually caring for their students. I hope they find a better place to teach..

The biggest downfall with this school is the lack of communication with the parents and the amount of bullying and that it does not get addressed. My son went from a recommendation to be tested for gifted and talented from his prior school, and failed miserably the next year with his teacher. His test scores were so high that he was allowed to pass and this year has A's and B's. Which leads me to think that some of the teachers need to be replaced, as he did badly with a teacher who had been there a long time and really doesn't seem to like her job anymore. There has been so many issues with my son getting picked on that I have to inform the principal about it, as he knows nothing. The supervision on the playground is severly lacking, and the duty teacher out there has outwardly expressed that he does not like my son. The staff reprimands by having the students "resolve it themselves" by writing apology letters. I do not feel that that is appropriate when another child puts their hands on another to let them "resolve it themselves" I do not feel like he is in a good, safe environment and am currently looking at alternatives for him fnow.

My son goes to Mc Queen and loves it! He’s in marching band and takes AP’s and honor subjects. Teachers and staff are great and takes time to listen to the students concerns. I’m glad we move to this neighborhood for my son to have a great school.
