The school itself is a mess. It's hard for student to take education seriously when there will end up being drama and issues going on with the way teachers and staff approach things. Especially in certain activities like phys ed where nonathletic students feel like they shouldn't be there because their not like the athletic ones. The teachers are there to teach but seems to be the problem is how some struggle to communicate with the students themselves. In the past there has been cases of bullying but although it has lowered there still comes a time where this may hinder another student from learning. Not everyone can get along but we should be able to treat everyone nicely regardless and help each other out if there's a problem. Littering is done all over the school and there are writings and unnecessary things found where they shouldn't be. Renovation could be used in some parts of the building since it's been years since another one has gone. Although education is necessary, students should be able to get the most out of their education and be interested in learning things that will benefit them in the future than to hear something that's pointless and out of context. More programs and activities should be introduce to make the students engage more than to do something they wouldn't enjoy. The smart and gifted kids who are in advance placement classes may overshadow students who are in college preparatory but this shouldn't let kids be just students who are working like slaves just to get a pointless letter on a grade. Everyone is smart and capable of doing something but this shouldn't discourage kids who want to be successful and stress out over something. With the way things are going now, it might seem fine to some but there are things that need to be improved upon since it's hard to take advantage of our education just because of the school and environment itself.

Teachers and staff are supportive and loving. My kindergartner has learned so much in one year, had homework every night and brings home wonderful projects and assignments that shows his teacher's devotion to teaching.

Great teachers that care and help all children thrive. The PTA keeps you ( the parent) very informed, the new Principle has brought a nice change within the school environment.
