The school has great involvement, Principal Polito is awesome. Would like to see more STEM activities, such as afterachool programs, since it is a STEM academy.

There does not appear to be the amount of supervision needed-I am very disappointed in this school as a house was bought specifically for this child to attend this school but as it is now-that may change.at the first opportunity. They dont seem to know what is going on with their students.
