Cute neighborhood school that disappoints. Outdated and lacking proper air conditioning however has cameras in the halls and other public areas, for "your safety" of course. The principal really should have retired years ago. There are also quite a few teacher who are known for yelling and not being nice. However, there are a few good ones too. Great Title I help.
