School Reviews

As a parent to a former student at this school... I am strongly recommend you not send your child here, if you care for their safety or education. This is not a functioning school, it's a business posing as a school. Children in 2nd & 3rd grade can't even write their name. This place needs shut down, it's a disgrace to the education system and a cancer to the community.

Terrible excuse for a school. It's a charter that's focused on building their wallets. They don't teach the kids; the staff doesn't last, check them, they have little to no tenure. Kids get bullied, and it's swept under the rug. This place is at the bottom of the state on test scores. There's literally zero reason to put your kid in this mess.
