the school has amazing learning resources.

My daughter currently attends, and I am so disappointed. There is extensive bullying, favoritism by teachers giving students grades they did not work for in 6th grade classes. A Dean that does nothing. The teachers here call parents for sport. They don't try to solve problems when they occur.

The teachers and staff are exceptional but the higher uppers.. Principal and vice principal like to hide truths cover-up and take sides in altercations. MS. Hudson is the best, so is MS. Dante and MS Stevens. I'm glad my son it's graduating. There is a lot of preference, though. If I could do it again, my child would not go there.

Despite drops in several areas, the school seems to be holding its own., especially with a Principal in charge for 10 years. That shows stability.
