When this school first opened I had high hopes especially because it appeared to encourage parental involvement. My experience has been extremely disappointing to say the least. During my visits to the school I have witnessed the lack of control that the teachers have over the students. Some examples of that lack of effective discipline are the repetitive incidents of aggression among students as young as 1st or 2nd graders, complete disregard of respect for the teachers, inability to display appropriate behavior during lunch time which has resulted on using the classroom as a lunch room by at least one teacher to avoid the chaos. As far as the school facilities, the playground is old, rusty and it appears not properly maintained which should raise safety concerns. Class size is a significant problem as some classrooms have as many as 28 plus students instead of 18 students which is the requirement for a public non-charter school. There is very little to none communication to the parents on the school plans for improvement. If you are still unsure about this school, all you need is a short visit to the school to see for yourself all the issues this school faces.
