3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAVOID AVOID AVOIDI regret ever putting my child in this school.If you have a white kid PLEASE AVOID.My kid was an A B student until this school.The teachers are violent and the Principal does nothing but make excuses for their behavior. My kid got called racist names everyday EVERYDAY,Not only by students but teachers as well.My kid was punched slapped kicked threatened with a gun for being white.My kid got in the car everyday telling me he hated being white due to the bullying. All the teachers and Principal talk about in EVERY SINGLE CLASS is slavery and how white ppl are evil.They tell their white students that they should be sorry for what their ancestors did.Im moving just to get my kid out of this school.

"Trunk or treating at churches, food can drives during different times of the day year, Easter egg hunts for the public, food gatherings and sometimes people come and perform songs and music, dancing. Avondale park is also a really lovely place to have a picnic or walk your dog(s) and they even have different pavilions equipped with electric outlets for bigger events, even weddings! With the library near by as well! It’s an overall lovely place to start a new or just somewhere fresh where the people are lively and usually friendly. :)"
