This school is terrible. Please do not send your kids here. I think it would honestly be better for your children to not attend any school than to attend this one. Old facilities, rude administrators, terrible food, the problems go on and on.

I agree run the other way! In my opinion there are no Norfolk public schools that are any good!

Run the other way!!! Do not allow your child to go to this school!!! If you can't afford Private School, don't move into this district. Principals and teachers DO NOT CARE!! Teachers will tell the kids they only teach there to get their loans paid off.
