School Reviews
1 10/10/2025
Horrible School. The Principal is uncaring and many staff as well. Your child will be treated like they are a burden here and made to feel like they will never amount to anything. Since my child has been attending this school, their confidence has plummeted. Never enrolling in the St. Louis school system again.
