The school has the potential to be a great school it just need more parents to step up and make it happen.

It's a small-town school in the middle of one of the densest cities in the USA. Great kids and caring staff!


Posted July 16, 2008

Diverse school in a great facility but it lacks much school spirit and parent involvement which is a disappointment.
