"no sense of community work. Can’t walk feeling safe in this area. There’s always robberies and cars with broken windows next day light."

"I live in the neighborhood for 7 years. It is a safe place to walk and to raise families. A lot of new developments are being built in this area, what make this neighborhood more appealing for new residents. "

"It’s a vibrant neighborhood, lots of shops, restaurants, beauty salons... But schools aren’t great. I don’t have kids , if I did I’d probably live someplace else with better schools system "

"It cool to walk your dog. There are plenty of different streets to take them on however, I’ve seen quite a few people walking their dogs without bags to pick up after them and I find that extremely irresponsible."

My child attends this school for Kindergarten, I was thinking it would be a good school for her, but how wrong I was. This school does not care about the students, my child teacher was horrible, she waited to have the first meeting to let me know my child was struggling to be on special ed, this was already in the middle of year, the teacher never reached out to me before to letting me know, and her demeanor to my child was always the same in every meeting she wanted to "ship" my child to another school far away as my child was a problem to her, thank god I always was opposed to that and request my child to be reevaluated! Conclusion they did not send my child to a different school, my child was approved to have Special Ed but never was given to her because was already too late (the school, special ed office and teacher didn't care) and I was over the school, especially the teacher and all of them. If you love your child and you decide to have them attending this school be their advocate because this school only want's the perfect kids no special ed kids. The best i did was move my child from this school to never again!
