Me and my siblings have gone to this school for years and they have a terrible education system even the language program is terrible the teachers fail to teach their students correctly and they never handle violence correctly or bullying.

PARENTS PLEASE LISTEN. Your child's bilingual education is not, is NOT. Worth this, it’s not worth, the physical bullying & violence seen in these halls, the emotional abuse & complete disregard to any and everyone. The drug problems the administration will never address. The gang & racial divide that administration not only disregards but enforces, via their own self segregation. A bilingual child is not worth this hell. It’s not worth the years of therapy they will need to overcome the anxiety and trauma from the physical, verbal, and yes sometimes sexual abuse and bullying that occurs inside this building. Administration will pull the wool over your eyes and cover up everything, but please listen to us, the past students, and do not torture you child in the way we were. I’m lucky enough to say I survived, the bullying didn’t take me, the drugs & gang influences didn’t suck me in, but sadly there are many I remember from middle school who are now no longer able to say the same. MPS has zero disregard for the safety and wellbeing of their students, and this school is a prime example. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE, EVER.

To think this school just a few years ago used to be one of the number one schools in the country.What a waste this beautiful neighborhood school has become. It used to be a school for talented kids who wanted to excel and now it’s just another shining example of government waste !!!!! Don’t send your child to this indoctrinated prison system if you want them taught by overpaid security guards.

There are many student behavior issues at this school, which are not addressed by administration, making it a challenging environment in which to learn and thrive.

If you want your child to have anything resembling a safe, quality education, do not send them here. The students have figured out that they essentially run the place, and the administration has done almost everything they can to get rid of student accountability or the ability of the teachers to do anything about the rampant bullying and abuse that happens in this school. Parents, do not send your children here.
