There were some outstanding individual teachers, and the special education department is wonderful. However, I feel there is a problem with the principal leadership,
... Read more I would like to see more proactivity from the staff at this school. There are many problems needing addressing at this school with some of its staff, specifically in the areas of appropriate discipline in the halls and at lunch.

My review: decent school -but needs help Be sure to compare with other city schools and ask questions. Read less
