The teachers does not help the kids when they ask for it well at least my child. The front office think they can talk to anybody how they want to and I think that is not right.

I absolutely love the hard work and dedication the teachers put forth with all the children! My five year old comes home with something new everyday that she has learned. Teachers and almost all the staff are extremely friendly but, I strongly feel as though the principal doesn't really engaged with African American parents as I enter the school everyday. She never speaks to me which baffles me; seeing that she is African American as well. If your going to smile and be friendly to selected parents, maybe you should re-evaluate your personal standards. Aside from that, I had nothing but the upmost respect for the entire staff. My child truly enjoys that school!
