This school may seem like a school that looks good at a glance. I think this school needs some work! The kids are not getting what they need if they are above or below the levels they are supposed to be at. They have some awesome first and third grade teachers and one fourth and one fifth grade. But, the higher you go into the grades they do not get you ready for highschool!!! They don't give the extra attention to the ones who need it. be it smarter or not so smarter students! They seem like they are just there for a paycheck! I thought teachers didn't make much. So they must be all washed out in the teaching department. I have heard from some that there has been cases of racisim by certain teachers!! not know for sure? And the guidence system fails big time! so does special education!!!!!
