Margaret Sheehy elementary is a good school the teachers are great but the students are the main problem. Some students do not listen to the teacher and most of them curse and say bad words at each other as part of a daily school day. The teachers do not have full control over the students meaning that whenever the teacher tells the students to stop they do not care. Some students are dressed like gang members, (i.e. hoodies, sagging.) and some even vape. The students are the main problem but not all of them some of them are good and the school is great. I recommend.
