This is my children's second year in this school. They previously were at a private school. This school has many problems. We have a new principal this year; I am very pleased with her efforts and guidance. I believe if families attended the schools they are supposed to attend based on zoning that this

I think that if more parents were involved the school would do so much better. We cannot lay blame on the school alone; we have to support the teachers and make sure the children are doing their part. I would love to see this schol excel.

This is a very good school and the Principal and teachers are doing a fine job. I am very disturbed at the rating of the 2 previous entries. Apparently these parents have an axe to grind.

I worked in schools for over 10 yrs and have never seen a 'school system' this terrible in teacher 'communication' skills and uninformed faculty-no organization skills. Lack of interest, too many parents not knowing how to follow directions on picking their children up- school gets an F. Overall quality
