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

This school is a horrible environment for students, the curriculum, grading, and teachers don’t help nobody! When students ask for help or even try to communicate with teachers, they give the biggest attitude problem!! A lot of the teachers here work with this mentality that they are “GOD” and it needs to be fixed. I understand students should respect teachers and I agree. But the staff members need to learn that respect goes both ways and should not be disrespectful either. Staff members should also work on having better communication with students to ensure that no confusion or conflicts occur.

It is the best school in the country and has the best teachers and principals.
