This school is not good. I wouldn’t recommend sending your kids here or if you’re a student wanting to go to this school.

We have one child in pre-K and one in second and the bilingual education is wonderful. The principal is great and very accessible, an...

Awful. Experience with several different BPS schools with 3 children and in my career I have a liaison with the schools. We were so excited for our child to attend the Hernandez and it was the worst educational experience any of the children have had.
