The principal’s policies are self serving. Even in harsh winter days forces the children out into cold to toughen them. First Fridays every month brings all parents in a show off public relations campaign. Result of just these 2 unsafe policies- kids get flue, raising extremely high absents. Principal and assistant principals don’t even reply to emails. Bullying is a real problem here as well. Lack of sane policies. Lack of teachers with real teaching experience. Discrimination behind doors. Every issue is quickly tried to hush up. My son had to spend 2 yrs of hell in this school. My heart goes out to who has no better choice given it’s a zoned school. But is you have choice don’t put this on your top 12 schools in application. Hope you avoid this school.

Both my boys attend this school and so far I have no complaints. The teachers are very engaging, communication is excellent.my boys love their school friends and teachers

My child attends the Horizon Program in the school since 5th grade and he is now in 8th grade. My child has received a lot of support in all the areas, he has improved tremendously, in his social -emotional and academic skills, as well as with the additional services of Speech, PT and OT.

This is a very late review but i have went to this school since 2018-2020 since around then, I was in special ed. The staff in special ed probaly retired by now but they were nice and helpful. they wanted me to get out because i didn't belong in there and they helped me. its a big school with nice teachers. Alot probaly changed but i had a good but lonely experience here.

This school is awful. There is huge bullying issues and if you’re not loaded with money or an honer roll student your child is an immediate target. If your child is one of these kids that aren’t loaded or top of the class your child will be verbally abused. My kid has been called special needs by the head principal of the school, needs to go to a mental health doctor for asking to get tissues during mincha. Kids in this school bully others so bad I hear story’s that they spit on their face and call them names like horse, autist, and Ed. The teachers are hit or miss some of them are great but 70% of them didn’t even graduate college they take off school so much the substitutes are known as a teacher to them. The problem with the substitutes is they don’t learn with them they either ignore the kids and go on their phone or give the kids a free period and let them play outside. If you want your kid to learn at home or study teachers don’t give out reviews or homework my son hasn’t had homework since 4th grade before Covid. PS: principals will embarrass your kid infront of the whole school and make him feel like a nobody.
