When this school first began my children where enrolled and I was pretty fond of the school, until now. Changing principles like every week. All the good teachers leaving , and short on staff and now I see why. After my children being there 7 years since kindergarten and now in middle school this school has gone down hill. Ratchet staff members screwing down to children’s level,staff members making fun of children’s clothing and using profanity in front of children to Gym teacher stafff “coaches” saying kids are not good enough to join a team that was just created this year won not one game because “coach” don’t like to take opinions from parents . Does the same play over and over and doesn’t allow children to play. He only chooses the same kids to play. Had kids on benches the whole season with no hope and no motivation. Only Favoritism.my son was on the basketball team and that coach wasn’t the coach they had a different coach , Mr Snowden was actually the best. Motivating all his team mates no matter if they where wack or the best like the football coach tried to say and discourage some kids saying they where wack and only the best of the best play.It’s even difficult to communicate with the school. They barely resolve anything or get back to you. So much bullying going on in this school it’s ridiculous and nothing done. Staffs and teachers only reprimand some kids . But if the staff/teacher is afraid of the parents that kid is allowed to be a bully and do as they please with no repercussions.I have children in all grades kindergarten third 6th and 7th and all educational level is horrible now. When my 6th and 7th grader began there they had so many rules and they abide by it. Pushed students. But all those staff and teachers and principles left. Now they just hire anybody. I’ve even heard they hired teachers with no license to teach. Hope they can get it together one day but definitely getting my children out of there this year. Thank you!

they sell you a lie to get your child in the school and once your child gets in all hell breaks out. i agree with the reviewer who said they are quick to call ACS that is so true. The school is so unorganize i went to pick up my grandson (who is not there anymore) i was shock to see kindergardens playing in the hallways while the teachers were in the class room i had to inform the office staff of the situation. I think put their children in that school just say children attends a charter school. The school also has a fire hazard one day when my grandson was in the school i notice that the school had gotten new cubbies in the hallways for the kids to put their coat and book bags in i was in shock to see coats and book bags on the hallway floor god forbid i there was a fire so many kids would get hurt or even killed i did inform the staff that and when i came the next day it was the same. please do not send your children to that school and the ones who rated high are either the staff or parents who click with the staff. My grandson is in a better school(public) and he is so much happier now and is always happy to go to school. i want to say there are good public school you just have to do research.

I have to agree with everyone on here…my daughter and her friend recently got in trouble because a bully lied about them bullying her and got one suspended and my daughter got detention but when the actual proof of the little girl who was”bullied” was presented that she was the bully all they did was talk to her but mind you my daughter still got detention and her remained suspended and their lack of communication really sucks there’s never anyone in the office to answer your calls….it’s crazy in public schools theirs a million people in the main office to answer all calls my thing is where’s the principal or vice principle at in all this? I will be removing my daughter from this school it’s crazy how they pick and choose what to complain about and what situations should be handled smh
