When we moved to the neighborhood in 2019 we were excited to have a k5-5 neighborhood school. Unfortunately, the principal is a major issue. She is not very receptive to critique and seems to be fine sending a failing class of black 5th graders to Senate for 6th grade each year. Why aren't the black test scores improving when you have the kids from 5k-5? Very clearly the school is part of the problem. Seems to be a great school for blonde kids

"We absolutely love living here! There are three parks within a 10-minute walk from our house, including the multiple playground sets at the elementary school. We feel safe and secure, and we know all our neighbors. It's a great place to raise a family!"
