This school ignored me asking for help when my son was in second grade and third grade and he was beat up by 3 boys each time. The school is filthy and the bathrooms are atrocious. I worked as a substitute for the school and was fired when I called the police regarding my son being jumped by the boys mentioned, and the principal (Wartley) lied and told them I wasn’t complying and wouldn’t bring my son to school for them to investigate. I wasn’t going to bring my son to be put back into the class room with the same boys that Jumped him but I DID bring him to speak with the principal and assistant but they wouldn’t speak to me and had the office girls tell me she was in a meeting. The school is failing for a reason. I’ve asked for a transfer (but wasn’t given one) to get my son out even with “school choice” as an option. They don’t supply tutoring or continual monitoring so the kids aren’t learning and are failing state testing scores. This school needs a huge revamping. The majority of the kids are from very low income families and given no regard for their education or their futures. As someone who worked at the school to see what was going and had been a parent of a child here for 4 yrs, I can tell you the score they receive is very well deserved.

Good experience overall. Would change the way the teachers and parents correspond. The principal is very good at his job and he impresses us.

"It wasn't fair how my friend got jumped and received a 5-day suspension, while the other person involved got a 4-day suspension. It seems like the teachers are making decisions based on race. The 6th-grade counselor is awesome, but the principal is not so great."
