I really like this school. We come from Callifornia where my daughter struggled. She wasnt getting the help she needed for her to complete her school work and homework. At PR Leyva my daughter recieves assistance from the teachers when needed and her she is now an honor roll student. I believe this is a wonderful school.

Worse than sending your children to school in inner-city chicago.

Totally disorganized, totally chaotic! If there were any other viable alternatives in this town, I would remove my child immediately.
