School Reviews
4 3/23/2019
I feel that in 2019, it has improved very much. The teachers really seem to care now but they don''t really seem to care about clothing. Either that or they dress code girls that are following the rule. The teachers really try to help improve our understanding of everything. Some teachers are nicer than others but teachers really have tried to help us now. There are many pros now rather than cons.
2 5/30/2011
1) Lack of tools to learn i.e.; textbooks, pencils, even teachers,etc.
2) SECOND TO LAST IN THE U.S. FOR EDUCATION
3) Verbal abusement everyday by teachers go unreported but will be seen
4) Principal Flaherety is not fit for her job. She doesn't care about how the children need to learn. She has only been in this position for only 1 year 1/2 and she has sent more than 1/2 the school to APEP.
NOT A GOOD SCHOOL!! DO NOT ENROLL HERE!!!
