My child is having the worst experience in this school. He transferred in and has been suffering with severely downgraded expectations. He is so bored. Communication about anything with admin is nonexistent. Office staff and one or two people are very pleasant there, but they are outnumbered by DOE staff who don't seem to care.

This is the worst school. Administration is basically unresponsive. If they do respond, it's captured gender ideology garbage. Stay far away from this place if you can.

This is not a quality place to send anyone who wants to develop themselves for future jobs. They use alot of outdated teaching methods,...
