Poe was a good school and I truly believe that it continues to stand on its old reputation. If your child needs any type of accommodations, look for another school. If your child is waiting for dyslexia services, make sure the principal likes you.

I truly believe Poe was a good school at one point. My parents and sister have lived in this neighborhood for over 25 years and a lot has changed. And if you have a child with any type of learning difference, please run; and, make sure that your future school can provide interventions.
