This school has made great strides in student achievement since the surprising unannounced departure of Dr. Richard on graduation night 2012.

My children have attended this school since prekindergarten. Recently, one of them developed behavioral issues that came to a head at the end of the year. While the school seemed adept at managing day-to-day activities, they struggled with handling behavioral problems. As a result, my children were dismissed abruptly, seemingly without consideration for their needs. The school was accommodating as long as we complied with their expectations, but once we sought outside help, they refused to allow my children to return. Whether this is retaliation remains uncertain. I plan to appeal their decision and take this matter to the state. Additionally, I will be enrolling my children in a different school with genuine reviews from parents rather than staff. This school lacks a solid plan for addressing behavioral issues and appears to have no future strategy other than exclusion.

It is impossible to receive any information on my son. We have tried contacting the teachers and have gotten nowhere. Recently the assistant principle notified us he may not pass. Why weren't contacted sooner? They say they want to work with the parents, but I have yet to see that. This school has been a disappointment! My children will not be returning next year!! Not to mention all of the daily fight's, frequent drug searches. These kids deserve better than what they are getting.
