Good friends, we receive all people and special people named Luis. we don't bully because we are all friends. We are very good studies and the teachers are always nice except for the substitute, there are very, very rude and mean. If the teacher forgets to say something to the substitute and the students tell the substitute, they start yelling at us, sometimes they cuss. The teacher teaches very well :) and they sometimes use external examples which for me it means that they say imagine that ... or better examples of how to remember stuff easier.

Severe disciplinary problems, poor leadership, and apathetic parents. Not a safe school for teachers and students who truly want to learn. Students are constantly fighting in classrooms, vandalizing school property, and threatening teachers. I should know because I was a former teacher at that school and have personally witnessed the horrors of what I described earlier. Also did not receive the kind of support that I need from the principal and parents. It was a mess when I left that school, and from what I have heard recently from former colleagues, the issues that have been plaguing that school have become worse. I do not have children of my own, but if I did I would not enroll them at that school. My advice to parents and future teachers is to avoid that school like the plague, or be very sorry.
