  • Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on October 04, 2010
  • Rating: 5 (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
  • This school has the most dedicated teaching staff in the district. Parent participation is very limited, however, the teachers deal with apathy by trying to energize the students deep desire to learn. Great work teachers.
