I have had three children go through this building. First off this new admin team is totally ineffective. We as parents were told this team would be able to fix all the school's ills, no way. In my family's opinion it has gotten so much worse. The admin do nothing to stop fights and the kids witness them screaming and demeaning the staff. I was told by the (...) that perhaps my son's issues were due to his teachers being ineffective. In fact if it were not for his teacher I would not have been privy to an issue. There are several non certified teachers working there and it shows. Too much racial bias and low expectations. We have rented our home and are in process of moving just to escape this poor school.
