I think that the teachers here struggle with connecting to their students on multiple levels. It is often that more time is spent trying to control the class's attention rather than actual teaching going on. They often get fed up with trying to control the rowdy students and are obviously annoyed during the rest of the class and it is sad to see they just want the period to end.

This school is terrible. I don't like it. The PTA has no say and the president of the PTA is a bully.

This school is very good, and the AAP program is quiet challenging! So that is a good thing. I don't know why it is marked 5 out of 10 now, but hopefully it will increase

I find the electronic progress reports are informative, too. The principal is friendly and a good leader; the...
