This elementary school is a vibrant, nurturing place where learning comes alive every day.My son says the teachers explain lessons so clearly that every concept “just clicks,” reflecting their dedication to true understanding.Their passion for teaching shines through in engaging activities that spark curiosity and joy.They genuinely care about each child’s emotional well-being, knowing every student’s strengths and growth areas.Best of all, they team up with parents, turning that insight into personalized support that helps every child thrive.

I was very hesitant placing my child here, given the neighborhood and the ratings.But pre k was a good first experience for my child. His prek teacher was responsive to my questions and concerns about his first year in school. In kindergarten , my child was placed in "Leadership class" which help him stay with more "focused " students. his kindergarten teacher , was great. She seemed to have everything well organized for the kids. But thats were it stopped. After the first 2yrs i felt a disconnect bw parent and teacher. If you decide to join pta - don't expect to accomplish much without a dedicated office. Not treated with much respect. And the nurse at the school is a joke.

This school is honestly one of my worst experience ever. The principal is HORRIBLE. She do not care about these students academically. They will blow your phone completely up if your child is absent 1 day but in order to find out your child is falling behind in class you wouldn’t find out until parent teacher conference. The students get rewarded based off attendance and not their work performance in class. She holds her title as Principal over every one of her staff members heads. If your child have an Iep pleaseee please please don't send them here. They have no structure what so ever. This school is a big daycare. You have to pray your lucky enough to get one of the teachers who actually care about their students learning and trust me, ITS VERY FEW OF THEM! The principle hides in her office when a parent comes to the school and wants to meet with her. Its honestly nothing at this school to make the students WANT to be here. The list goes on and on. I can go on for days. To sum this all up. DO NOT PUT YOUR KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL. If all of us parents speak up we can make a change seriously. Start by getting the principal, assistant principal, and half the staff out of there asap. I cant speak for everyone but I’ll be at the board of ed everyday starting tomorrow until something is done. I’ll be emailing and contacting EVERYONE. MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD !!!!!

Great School! I give it a 10
