Administration is terrible. The assistant principal is more involved than Cantu, the actual principal. Another parent mentioned that there's a lot of parent involvement, which isn't true. Maybe at that time? But it's no longer. They couldn't even get parents to sign up for PTA positions this year. They did end up finally filling spots, but it's obviously not great "parent involvement". They have only two real events a year, Trunk or Treat and a Field Day. Only one of them is fun for the kids (trunk or treat), the other is just a money grab to fund a PTA that adds nothing to the school in terms of improvements. I'd like to see where the money is being spent because it's not on upgrades. The school itself is outdated, the outside PE area has dirt, ants, and old equipment. The classrooms and desks are subpar at best. No school dance, fun days, student lead activities, nothing that other schools get. If you have a child of special needs, especially physical, they do not accommodate here. If you have an issue with a teacher, they will say nothing to the teacher and pretty much tell you "too bad, can't make everyone happy", especially if the teacher has decent testing scores. Teacher communication is nonexistent. They do not challenge students to be better. They focus on the ones that will hurt their overall school score, but will not assist an already educationally inclined student to become better. Because of the area the school is in, it does attract a nicer array of students. This does help the overall rating of the school but the the roots (admin) are rotten here. It's just so unfortunate that there's not much to pick from in terms of quality around here, and when you think you found a gem, it's really just dung wrapped in some tin foil. Overall, would not recommend.
