The school enrolls 80% economically disadvantaged students and employs 52 full-time teachers, in addition to three full-time counselors. ***This school has very poor ratings and scores well below average for math and reading proficiency. May I suggest writing about a neighboring charter school instead?***

8/20/2019

This is a terrible school. This is my last year there but seventh grade was the WORST!! all of my teachers left besides two teachers. The principle even left! there is a fight at least once a week. i was going to the bathroom and i saw that written on the toilette seat said "i don't deserve to live" the reason that they wrote it on the toilette seat was because there was not enough room to write it on the walls! something needs to be done!!! this school needs to be fixed!!!
