School Reviews
1 8/20/2019
The school facilities are far from modern. It appears to be a repurposed facility that was originally used for high school aged children. The classroom and bathroom entrances are outside the building. It appears the school is in need of repairs. The classrooms have window unit type air conditioning/ heating which cannot keep up with the needs of the students making them either hot or cold depending on the time of year. The gymnasium has big fans and no air conditioning. The environment the children are in can make it very difficult for the children to learn. That being said, the teachers are wonderful and do the best they can with what they have. There is no music available to the students and Art is offered on a rotating basis usually once a week. The playground areas for the children are in desperate need of repair and equipment needs repair or replacement.
