(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I hate this school. Its one of the worst schoos in the disctrict. I've read some reviews from '09 and noticed that teachers are still not teaching math. I went there back in the 90's and did not learned anything. Mrs Humphrey is a good teacher but you cannot battle against a bunch of immigrants that are more interested in being cholos then help their parents from scrubing the toilets for a living. And by the way I am hispanic and an immigrant who speak only the truth.
