The school is OK, up until middle school. Elementary is fairly simple although the teachers do tend to yell a lot. To be honest, i’ve never been in a place with so much yelling. You’d be in science class and across the hall you’d hear a kindergartener get screamed at for dropping a cup of water. The teachers barely hold accountability towards those who bully. They usually rub it off. Also, god forbid your teacher doesn’t like you, because I guarantee you will have a terrible year. From experience, I’ve been in fear of other students in the building, constantly in fear of being attacked. Luckily, i’ve always been one favored by all my teachers so I wasn’t alone thankfully. The school is pretty ghetto though. Teachers use fear and intimidation to get a student or class to behave, and if a few students or one class is being bad, the entirety of middle school or that grade is responsible. One teacher slowly drove himself insane because of the students. Girls sometimes get harassed by the boys, and the girls are always starting drama. I don’t get it. Also, there are barely any after school activities. Unless you want to be in a chess club or art, there isn’t anything else. Even then, each of them are only limited to like one month. Besides that stuff, It’s a pretty good school. Middle school teachers are very good at their job and pretty much respectful and supportive as of the 2023-2024 school year. Specials is fun. Overall, it’s a decent school, although i don’t recommend middle school.

This is a great school send to your child to through kindergarten-5th grade after that I would not recommend it. The bathroom’s are never clean the teachers are rude and disrespectful. There is a school sub named Ms. Robinson who was cursing at children and saying the reason why people call black children monkeys are because we act like them. I felt personally attacked while attending her class for several months before the teacher Mrs. Cooper came back from maternity leave. Mrs. Cooper is an excellent teacher wish I could still have her. She really builds a relationship with her students. There is no science lab for the middle grade students and the deans are horrible. I excelled at this school throughout kindergarten-5th I left right after that. My fellow friends told me how the middle school is and I am glad I left. Shoutout to Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Lang, Mrs. Woods, Mrs, Gilmore (who left) and all the rest of the amazing teachers. They need a better food service I got food sickness before and had to get sent home.

Trying to contact the administrator at this school is a joke. Apparently your child can be bullied and harassed, threatening. They don’t think it serious. Principal is never available, Dean Silva Rogers is always on a phone call but yet likes to intimidate people. They write up a behavioral report on your child smear there names. My child is labeled as a child who fights, but I had to take her out of that school due to her mental health. No one wants to be held accountable but yet I have to sign a contract to get her enrolled in a high school due to what they wrote about her. They will end up on medication. I wish I would’ve researched this school before sending my child here. Ms. Mitchell doesn’t get up from the desk she pretends she doing nor does she check the voicemail in a timely matter when you call there. I have left several message for the school principal, she never returned the call. THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. CHILD ENDANGERMENT!!!!
