Awful experience both principals are very rude and not helpful meet and greet never happened just awful !!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS THERE WORST MISTAKE I EVER DID
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 12, 2010

Administration is terrible, If you don't speak Spanish don't bother. None of the children here are learning English. When you walk the halls you will think you are in Mexico. Many teachers wouldn't be able to pass an English language test- yet they are teaching the kids. Sad situation. I worked there for a short time- it was awful! There are some good teachers and great counselors- but they can't make up for all the other problems.

Awesome school been there for three years my daughter loves her teachers but the parking is a nightmare some people have to get there one hour before to get a good parking spot if not they have to park outside the lot on busy street they should expand the lot they have way plenty of room for it
