Parent Rating Average
When we moved to the neighborhood in 2019 we were excited to have a k5-5 neighborhood school. Unfortunately, the principal is a major issue. She is not very receptive to critique and seems to be fine sending a failing class of black 5th graders to Senate for 6th grade each year. Why aren't the black test scores improving when you have the kids from 5k-5? Very clearly the school is part of the problem. Seems to be a great school for blonde kids
