Hello i would like to share about my experience with this school(from last year n this semester). To start off The teachers are meh, some are good some don't really do there job. SOME Students are rude, fighting, unnecessary beef, and using vapes ( rare). This school doesn't care about education and safety for other students sadly. And if your class was misbehaving they wouldn't even do anything to stop it misbehaving! If you want a good school for your child then please don't choose this one! There's way more better opinion anyways lol

My son attended a special education pre-K program at this school and it was an absolute nightmare. His teacher honestly did care and did the best that she could, given how it seems that everything else about this school was working against her. She honestly deserves to work for a better school.Unfortunately, for every good thing I could say about his teacher, I have a bad thing to be said about the TA she was stuck with. This person has no business working with children, she actively hated the kids in the class and would routinely insult and debase them. The other teachers would routinely mock the kids in that class (more than once during drop off and pick up, I heard other teachers referring to the classroom as "the stupid kids class"). Bullying was rampant. There was one incident where my son literally had his face shoved into the ground while teachers just watched.Add to that a general refusal of anyone at the school, other than his teacher, to ever reply to an email or return a phone call (we never once got an update on IEP accommodations), and you'll find that this school is perfect for the parent who wants to just drop off their kid and forget that they exist for the rest of the day, but a horrible choice for everyone else.It was so bad that my son, at 4 years old, learned how to force himself to be sick (not just pretend to be sick, he actually made himself sick) to be able to get sent home so he didn't have to spend more time at the school.This school is the reason that I'm so incredibly grateful that my son was one of the lucky people who got selected in a charter school lottery, because if he didn't, we'd be figuring out a way to home school before submitting him to this school, because I honestly consider willingly sending your kid here to be a form of child abuse.

My son goes to Mc Queen and loves it! He’s in marching band and takes AP’s and honor subjects. Teachers and staff are great and takes time to listen to the students concerns. I’m glad we move to this neighborhood for my son to have a great school.
