This school is an excellent place to get an individualized education. With a low student to teacher ratio, students get the extra support they need. Parents are encouraged to participate in family nights and parent/teacher conferences.

Horrible I sent my child there and they chopped my sons dreads off and whipped him with them . Then forced him to pound his chest and say “ooga booga and stuffed bananas down his throat

This schools name is not only a racial slur it’s not a very inclusive school. There is no diversity within the school what so ever. Children should not be put in a school from an early age that hinders there real world experiences and does not show them equality.

Staff has double standard with students. If your child isn't friends with tbe "clique", they will be punished.
