This was a great school and since they lost their leader Ms Galizia it has turned into a travesty. Fights everyday, the teachers don’t care anymore they just want to get out. There is no direction or learning taking place. I need to move my child. What a shame a good school allowed to deteriorate in one year like this. There are no special education or ESL services. The teachers are being used as substitutes.

Poor administration and intervention techniques implemented all the way to the Paterson Board of Education in handing serious & complicated issues with student conflict, peer pressure, teasing and taunting and when a child being bullied and then child turns somewhat bully by having similar actions that can almost identify with a bullying student. It escalates due to the environmental setting and the child's present teasers and taunters etc are still present doing the same things to the child. Things get worst and there's lot's of unfulfilled promises from the Paterson Board of Education, resulting in repeated incidents and suspensions. No real true lasting solutions within this school district. A Security guard attacks this child and was seen attacking another student physically - only to be investigated and then put back to work at the school the next day though a police report was file. The administration is also shrewd by reporting courageous and firm parents with integrity and dignity to DFYS on purpose and making false accusations to make the parents stop making complaints to the Board of Education exposing their unjust system and school staff.
