There are some great teachers at this school. The GT program is pretty good. The staff for the most part has done well to have this school running well. When I say staff, I mean teachers, cafeteria, teacher aides, and cleaning staff, I cannot say much about the the "higher up" administration. I know that in most cases the staff reflects a good leader but in some cases that is not always the case. This school in my opinion is rated average because it lacks structure from the administration and from the lack of parent involvement. Some of the parents don't care for the type of education that their child receive; they see the school as a day care center. The kids need to be held accountable as well as the parents and if that were to happen, this would make it a great school but unfortunately you need a great leader to spear head this project and unfortunately I don't see Dr. King helping out in this issue. Over all as long as your kid has a good teacher that is all that matters so hope that each year your kid gets one other wise good luck for the future of the kids.

I have two children attending this school. I highly recommend their GT. program. These teachers really challenge their students. Most of the GT. teachers have years of experience. I'am sorry I cannot speak for the excellence of the entire school, I can only speak for the GT program.
