Mr.Wolfe is a great and much needed asset to grant! He is outside interacting with the kids, patting them on the back. There are some very caring and dedicated teachers as well, mr. Maxwell, mr. Fiello, mrs. Victoriano. With parental support,these teachers definitely do their part.

I am very dissatisfied with the favoritism that is visited upon certain students leaving others without the consideration deserved. Also, teachers allowed to pick and choose which children they do and do not teach then being allowed to eject the unwanted students from their classrooms. Their response

The principal does not get involved with the parents and the vice principal acts as if he always has something more important to do than speak with parents. I have even had an instance where property was removed from my son that was very expensive and the vice principal claimed it was stolen from his desk. I filed claim with the district 1 plus years ago and still have no satisfaction or even a response.I am removing my sons. Read less

For the most part the teachers are ok. I do not like the policy that the Phys. Ed. Dept. has of making kids change to mark them as 'prepared'. Kids are cruel, esp. in this school and I can see how having to change in front of others could traumatize a child w/ self-esteem issues. I also think they

I have a neice that's scared to death to walk to and from school. Granted the fault falls squarely on the shoulders of the parents that allow their kids to act like that, but the school has to accept some responsibility. I think the work is made extra-easy to ensure kids pass so the school's #'s look better on paper. Worst school ever. Read less
