(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I feel that this is a failing school that is not preparing our children for a bright future. The principal, and asst. principal both need to be replaced, and they offer no real help for special needs children. They don't even have enough special education teachers for the services, and most of the teachers need to further their schooling so that will be able to teach all required subjects. My daughter is in sixth grade, and only has Reading, and Math as major subjects now picture that. There is no Science, Social Studies, English, or anything else that I had as a sixth grader being taught. This school needs to be on the closing list, I think it would have a better purpose as a park for the children in the community rather than to keep making our children suffer from the lack of education they recieve there!
