"I've lived here for 4years. The shootings have slowed down, high on other crimes due to large population of homeless. They made the neighborhood unsafe, dirty, high in crimes."

"I live in a dangerous, loud, drug ridden area. My kids can't play outside. I live by a mainstreet and can hear traffic from inside my home. my neighbors are loud and disrespectful. they play music very loudly until 2-3am and my windows rattle. we need to sleep with the TV on to drown out there music."

"We live in a secured, gated community and a nice place for families. Security is good about walking the perimeters every so often and keeps parking rules in check for all residents and non-residents. Complex is very eye appealing with all the plants and trees that are well maintained by the maintenance crew."

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is highly unfair with favoritism. One time my daughter went ti school either school dress and school leggings and she got dress coded! My other daughter would go with a different shirt when she ran out of the uniform and the principal told her she has to change, my daughter told her “my mom hasn’t done laundry yet” and the principal replied with “I don’t care” while other students not in uniform passed right in front of the principal and the principal said nothing, keep in mind the principal greeted the student with no uniform and a teacher informed me that the principal let one teacher literally do whatever she wanted but when the other teacher tried to do something the principal said no and took her anger out on the kids aka 2nd graders!!! I do NOT recommend or have any respect for this dumb schoolParent Review1mo ago7 Reviews - Hillery T. Broadous Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRecruiting students to improve test scores is unethical. Remember you still have your home students attending this school.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWell, I used to be a student here and I had a very great time the teachers were respectful and helpt students get ready for middle, and high school. My sister is 9 and she attends there. Every day when she comes home she always talks about what she learned, how the teachers were kind to her, and what they help with.Other Review2y ago8 Reviews - Guardian Angel Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGuardian Angel Catholic School feels like a second home. All the lovely families come together to help the school really thrive. We have new leadership that has committed to the community and has reinvigorated the family feel. The biggest reason I came to private school is to work closely with her teachers and to be able to communicate without delay and easily.Parent Review1y ago16 Reviews - Calvary Baptist Christian

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMary Immaculate School has been a part of our lives for the past 14 years. My two oldest children have graduated from MI and it is my youngest child's last year. We are thankful for the staff and Faculty at MI. Our experience at Mary Immaculate has been great. Not only does the school focus on academic achievements but the formation of faith as well. We are grateful to be part of the MI family.Parent Review7mo ago9 Reviews - Vaughn Next Century Learning Center

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am extremely disappointed with how this school is being run, particularly when it comes to student safety and communication with parents. I met with the director today, and I was told that if students decide to walk out of school, there is essentially nothing the staff will do because they don’t want to risk staff members getting hurt . That response is completely unacceptable student safety should always come first.What’s even more concerning is that I was never notified that my daughter did not attend class. If I hadn’t personally checked her location, I would not have known she was missing from school. A school should always inform parents immediately when a student is absent or leaves campus without permission.There also appears to be an ongoing issue with fights and lack of discipline. Students seem to be able to leave campus freely without consequences, and nothing meaningful is being done to address these problems.Based on my experience, I do not feel confident in this school’s ability to keep students safe or properly communicate with parents. I would strongly advise other parents to think carefully before enrolling their children here.Parent Review3w ago33 Reviews
