I think this school has potential but I think each child's experience here will be hit or miss depending on the teacher they get. The administration is nice, but their wonderful assistant principal who was there for the last two years is already leaving. Some of the support staff are incredible: the kind that have a smile on their face every time you see them. Meanwhile, you have the parent liaison who looks disgruntled on nearly a daily basis who I witnessed be very condescending to a Spanish speaking parent. On one occasion, she put me on the spot to donate food for the teacher appreciation lunch and when I came to deliver it, hardly acknowledged me nor said thank you. My child's teacher was great and I really appreciated her despite having some overbearing parents in our room this year. There is no PTA but as a Title I school, has money so my child had electives like dance. Their after school program (EDMO) was good but communication to the families was very limited. I didn't know about special events until only a few days prior. Overall, I would proceed with caution with this school if you're concerned about academics.
