Now that higher-income neighborhoods are assigned to the school, the culture and parent involvement is improving. I think great things are in-store for this school's future!

I have a child with some disabilities who had 3 breakdowns from the overcrowded classrooms and not one time was I informed by the staff. Her therapist had to tell me. She thought she could handle it on her own. She was bullied and slapped. Her report card says she missed 10 days but she's got "perfect attendance!" How is this? I'll tell you how, the busses come when they get ready. And the teacher marks them absent.. I had to go back and forth with the IEP coordinator to add her diagnosis which she refused to add and then they refused to get her tested. Her primary care dr id getting it done!! THEY DON'T CARE!!!! THEY'VE JUST BEEN SHOVELING HER ON TO THE NEXT GRADE WITH NO PROGRESS!!!! I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM WERE DONE. BYE BYE GRIER. And if you're wondering yes she is and yes we are!

The teachers and administration have been wonderful during our transition to a new school. They have had events to engage the families and students. One of my children really struggled with his last school and couldn’t pass his end of grade testing. This year he has excelled in the classroom and is on track to pass his eog. The prior reviews may have been accurate but it is not the experience we have had. It’s only our first year here but we hope to continue to have good experience and that the school has the ability to turn around the negatives.
