(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Shame on you Mater Academy in Hialeah Gardens at 7700 NW 98th Street! We checked out a recent tip and found you have no school crossing guards, cross walks or flashing lights! Plus, you don't even have school security or police! What happened to child safety? I hope someone looks into this.
