"Nothing much, it’s just the same old, same old. Their are quite a few things that’s make this neighborhood bad though. Like the crime but not good. Accept the elementary school near here, it’s an amazing school."

"it's a okay neighborhood. I want to stay away from Blackstone too much crime. most of the neighbors are noisy , honking their horn, loud music, loud cars. the neighborhood is very diverse. and the rent is cheap. "

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers at this school are outstanding—talented, dedicated, and passionate about their jobs. They are the only reason to consider this institution.However, I am compelled to give this school a 1-star rating due to the current Superintendent/CEO/CFO. As a former employee, I saw firsthand that her true intentions are driven by profit, not pedagogy. She treats this educational establishment strictly as a business, viewing the amazing students as mere "dollar signs." This focus on personal gain is further evidenced by her unprofessional habit of posting luxurious personal trips on LinkedIn.Furthermore, she employs an extreme style of micromanagement and punitive leadership. Any employees who voices a contrary belief or stands up to her is swiftly reprimanded, and their job is posted for replacement immediately. It is her way or the highway, and she exhibits clear favoritism.Parents, please be warned: Do not enroll your children here while this Superintendent is in power. The positive impact of the employees is severely undermined by the toxic leadership at the top.Other Review6mo ago21 Reviews - Fresno County Special Education Local Plan School
