I was a little disturbed about my son not having a basketball coach on an event that he was invited to and the school not being able to supply uniforms for the boys basketball team but overall i guess there trying .Maybe they should have cookie sales or bake sales to help with those things.

I think this school is alright I go there and it seems to be good. Mostly, everyone is working so hard to try to pass to their next grade. Its just a lot of conflict between the students.

I love this school. I graduated from this school in 2003. This school makes sure your child is on the right track for his/her future my favorite teahcer was Mrs. Jefferson she teaches social studies at the school. She also makes every child feel important. All i have to say is keep up the good work. Adnerys Delgado
