This school is a joke. The principal gallashaw is an under handed snake. She plays favorites and its time for her to go and retire. The teachers are great and hard workers. Its time for gallashaw to retire and let people who want to work, work.

This school used to be chaotic, but the new administrators have taken control. It is now a family friendly and effective turn-around school. My son who had struggled in other environments is now on the right path to succeed.

This school is out of control. Dismissal time is a bit scary. The guards/teachers and paras run around after the kids when they are trying to escort them to the buses. My son was put in tis school for a bewhavior problem that has subsided and he has been recommended a less contained environment.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
