No words for how poor this school is. Please, please, please, if you can enroll your kids elsewhere you will be doing them a great service. This place is a sham, focused on image over style with a toxic culture of no, and no good deed goes unpunished. Abysmal leadership, poor role modeling, and declining academic performance.

Behavior is horrible in this school. My children comes home every day with a different story from kinder and first grade students. I was there when the fifth and six graders where at lunch, they don''t respect cafeteria employees or even parents or adults in the surroundings, teachers came and there was no signs of consequences. I which I could have the flexibility to access another school in the area. They must do something fast.
