We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Last year in 2019 i experienced really bad things, through out the three years in hell, kids after school would go to the park right next to the school and smoke marihuana, also the other times the deli would sell vapes to underage kids. I didn't wanna believe this when my kids told me that the students in school have made a gang related to crips, and i asked myself how is this possible, but the next the i pick up my kid from the school, and once he got in my car, he was terrified. Overall do not register you're kids in this school because he/she will experience gang violence, and drug dealers in the school
