This is a great school however it’s extremely overcrowded! They over accept and accommodate students outside of the neighborhood. Too many students. Extended day has a long waitlist. They don’t prioritize students that actually live in this school zone.

I am a very recent alumni. This school feeds into LaVilla and its probably the best years of your life. I love the teachers.

Disappointing. The best thing about it is it feeds into Lavilla - but it's become something to be endured.

It starts at the top! Mrs. Dennis is a phenomenal leader and she has created an environment that fosters the arts, creativity and love of learning for all stakeholders.
