"People never clean up after their dogs. A lot of them don’t even groom or take their dogs to the vet, so you have to be careful with YOUR dog when you take them outside because dogs love sniffing other dogs pee n poo and they can catch illness like that. Also, who wants to be have to walk with their head down bc they’re afraid to step in dog poo? "

"I don’t go or follow any events in this neighborhood. I don’t feel the streets are lighted enough, and hardly no police presence. My building is very clean and taken care of. However, I don’t go outside at night by myself."

"This is NOT the best place to raise children.... But it’s not the worst. Although I would not want my child hanging out with some of the inhabitants of this neighborhood, I do not feel terrified for his safety when he walks out of the house. There are far worse places to raise children. "

"Morris Heights is a horrible place to live in from my perspective because people don't pick up after their dogs. When they poop which is disgusting. Also people get into fights such as people who are on drugs. A lot of people smoke which bring a horrible smell when you wake up. I plan to move using trulia because this place is not the right place for me. "

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school offers a solid academic structure and fosters a welcoming sense of community for many families. This was our experience as well—until one of my children, who has more complex emotional needs, began attending. The lack of appropriate support services placed significant strain on my family. I was receiving daily calls to leave work and pick him up, which placed my employment at serious risk.Thankfully, my child is now in a more suitable educational setting—one that understands how to support children with unique emotional needs, where he is now thriving.If your child requires additional behavioral or emotional support, I would STRONGLY urge you to ask specific questions about how those needs are addressed before enrolling.Parent Review1y ago7 Reviews - Holy Spirit Elementary School
