The classes are good enough, you learn what's needed and have many resources to ensure that you pass all classes. The teachers are, for the most part, involved and caring. There are some that only have the goal of passing students, pushing them to the next grade regardless of if they turned in a single paper all year, but that is expected in any public school. However, the counselor system is less than helpful. I am a recent graduate, and struggled with mental issues throughout my 4 years. While that is not the school's fault, many teachers cared more to listen to my struggles than the counselors did. I learned by my second year that if you had an issue, you had better luck going to your favorite teacher. I was told by my counselor that she was here to help with school issues, to fix schedules and make sure everyone passed their classes, not for personal issues. She told me she was not "qualified" to help me with the struggles I had, which were not at all extreme. Many people I know had similar experiences with their own counselors. They push mental health in that school all year, through lessons, advisory meetings, etc., saying if you need help to not hesitate and go to the counselors. But when you go, you are met with someone who is supposedly "not qualified" and get turned away after 10 minutes in their office. Why are they there if they cannot handle part of the job description?

Both of my boys have been at this school since kindergarten. My oldest is in 5th grade now and I have another in 3rd. We have had such a positive experience at this school from all aspects: classroom learning, teachers, administrators, speech program, Gifted and Talented program and the PTA is amazing. I have lived in the neighborhood for over a decade and have loved the positive change this school has had in the last 10 years.

PTA is great and try to involve families. Fine Arts program is good. Parent concerns however are often ignored and not taken seriously. The way the principal talks to students and parents is not acceptable.
