I went to that school from K-8 it was a good school which is why I never transferred. Most of the staff there were already there for years when I started and some still there by the time I graduated. Teachers always showed they cared for their students and always had their best interest in mind.

My child hates this school and says it sucks very much often.

This public school is of a higher echelon than HOOE PARTNERSHIP FOR EDUCATION SCHOOL. I am still appalled by the amount of conflict my child faced at HOPE PARTNERSHIP FOR EDUCATION which is a private school by the principal and teachers.
