This school is ok. If your child has a 504, IEP, or IHP good luck. My child was here for 5 years and she had 2 good teachers in the classroom. All the specials teachers are good. The principal and vice-principal do not care to hear your problems.

This school is filled with nice kids but if they're not nice they really Ghetto. They are messing people heads up and they think they the best which nobody should think. I love this school because I am helping people and engaging into activities in my opinion. Sometimes I can be bad but not all the time.
