School Reviews
| 1 This school need 3 things to improve the safety of the chlidren attending Babcock. First the a cross walk, the students have no way of crossing the street safely. Being that the school is surrounded by auto body shops. Second a sidewalk, to allow the access to their school. third and final a parking lot for parents drop off and pick up students in a safe and timely manner. Is that to much to ask for. Thank you - Posted by Parent - LaQuinna Harrison |
