As someone who previously attended this school and who currently has a family member enrolled there, I unfortunately cannot recommend it. Over the years, I have consistently heard and witnessed reports of bullying, with little meaningful action taken to address or prevent it. In the case of my younger sister, who currently attends the school, the situation has not been handled in a way that effectively limits or stops the behavior.During my time there, and based on what I continue to observe now, some teachers and staff members have demonstrated unprofessional behavior. At times, it feels as though personal feelings interfere with their responsibilities, which negatively impacts the students’ experience.I have also noticed that many students display disruptive behavior. There seems to be a lack of accountability, as some students are openly disrespectful and unkind toward one another. This creates an environment that does not feel safe or supportive for children.Additionally, the teaching approach often feels rushed and overly strict. It does not always seem like there is enough patience or individualized attention given to students who may need extra understanding or guidance.Overall, this school has significant areas that need improvement. I hope meaningful changes are made to ensure a safer, more supportive, and more professional environment for all students.

I was a temporarily assigned teacher there for several months. I enjoyed the stay there. I felt the principal was very nurturing and committed to the students. His door was constantly open and the students felt comfortable going to him. The only issue I noticed was that the school had several Art genres when it started and are now down to a few. The directory has not been revised and may be misleading to students.

Students that attend are hood. It’s not due to poverty but rather their upbringing.
