OVER ALL I THINK IT'S A FAIRLY GOOD SCHOOL. I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR THE TEACHERS BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS LACK DISCIPLINE THANKS TO THE LOVELY MORALS THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT AT HOME. I THINK DISCIPLINE SHOULD BEGIN FROM HOME AND THE TEACHERS SHOULD GET A LITTLE MORE FREEDOM TO ENFORCE IT AS WELL. WAIT A MINUTE! WHO'S RAPING KIDS!!!??? OH HELLZ NO...

I think the staff and administration are doing a great job trying to achieve academic progress throughout the grade levels. Picking yourself up after a terrible incident can't be easy. Mr Rodriguez is fantastic.

This has got ot be the worst school (elementary, middle or high), in ALL of Pennsylvania. The students run the school and act more like animals than human beings, the principals are a jokes and security makes Barney Fife look like Joe Friday!

Any school that does not protect ALL of its students is not doing it's job. From the cafeteria worker to the Superintendent, everyone has the responsibility to protect and provide a safe environment for learning...with these "alleged" rapes of 1st graders, too many people were grossly neglecting their responsibilities. This school deserves a complete ouster of current staff and a reevaluation of whether any of these people should remain in the field of education...
