The quality of academic programs are ok. The school does NOT have any extracurricular activities! The school does NOT fully inspect every teacher. My Sons 3rd grade teacher was very inapropate, she would sleep at her desk!!! The children were not allowed to talk at lunch time, I caught the staff in action! Most of the Parents could care less about their child. The lunch room staff was not very kid freindly, they had allot of complaints against them for the way they yelled at students. Allot of parents get free lunches and are able to afford what the luches cost. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE!!!
