I absolutely love this school, this school has taught my daughter a lot along with staff and other parents all working together. My child will be going to junior high school next year, so this will be her last year, and I must say it's been a pleasure working with this school my child .

WritingMy review comes from experiencing both sides of this school as the parent of an excellent student and the guardian of a troubled student. Over three years, I witnessed inconsistent discipline, poor communication, and a lack of accountability. While my niece often avoided consequences for serious behavior, my daughter's positive contributions, including advocating for a student government, were repeatedly overlooked. I experienced communication issues, safety concerns, and what I felt was disorganization throughout the school. My daughter graduated in 11th grade with a full university scholarship but received no recognition for being the first student to do so. I also found it difficult to communicate with school leadership, especially after raising concerns. Despite these issues, I want to recognize Elisha Dixon, Leana Glick, and Ms. Elena Canaras-Raoul, who genuinely cared about students and consistently went above and beyond to support them. Overall, while there are dedicated staff members, I believe the school needs stronger leadership, better communication, greater accountability, improved organization, and more recognition for student achievements before I could recommend it to other families.
