There’s a big problem with people talking about drugs, violence, gangs, and people bullying others. There’s so many people who’ve experienced harassment physically or sexually at this school but most of them would not want to say their names or the other persons name. I feel like the school is overall 3 stars because some teachers are helpful, some are good, and overall it’s amazing. The social or emotional support you’re getting is quite different honestly if I’m speaking. In terms of academics, it’s fairly decent and not that bad. I wish people at this school would start focusing on their academics and education rather than talking about someone you don’t even know and only knowing it from what you hear.

I feel that this is an excellent school. I have raised my children in this neighborhood since 1991 when the school opened for 1-8th graders. My 4th and last child graduates this year. She's been an honor student with high test scores, like my other 3 (3rd child away at college now on scholarships).Every school can be improved, even the high score ones & I feel this school needs to listen not only to the parents but get feed back from the children (which they don't do).The after school programs are excellent. My child is in their band program, funded by a large grant used for more instruments, individual lessons & more instructors.Carson has homework help, after-school tutoring, dance & sports, along with constant new educational programs that have been introduced to the kids learning environment. I'll admit the staff sometimes lacks in bedside manners & sometimes even commonsense,but they are after all human & I'm sure they'll work on their disposition and attentiveness towards parental concerns. But for the most part this is a very good (and so-far, safe) school for my child's education & well being. A parent shouldn't be upset with 1 teacher and down rate the whole school for it.
