School Reviews
2 5/17/2010
This school but a sad small shadow of its former self.
With the whole school being made up of portables, and a very uncooperative administration there is a slowly degrading student and faculty morale. The administration seems nothing but hell-bent on removing the performing arts from its curriculum. you might see this schools name change to just the Public Academy. To top this even though they meet A.Y.P every year, their A.P and language courses are almost non-existent.
