Any parent who sends their kids to this school is being irresponsible. This school incriminates BLACK kids for being a KID! Google their name and see how they further damaged and traumatized a young BLACK child! SO SAD!

This school receives a bad rap. The teachers, staff, and principal work hard on teaching the whole child, not just academics. I have seen my child (who was making no progress in a public school) make unbelievable gains while attending this school. People really should appreciate this diamond in the ruff.
