i am very happy with this school. I cannot say enough about the quality of the teachers and the new facility is wonderful. i also cannot stress what a wonderful principal they have-very involved, present, caring , proactive etc.....she is the backbone of the school.

This school is awful and should not even be called a magnet school. If I were a suburban parent, I would definitely not send my children there. Most of the teachers and staff are unprofessional and rude, and put their petty bickering over the concerns of the students. The principal is unprofessional and does not address concerns of parents. There is little sense of community in the building and few programs to involve children in at the school, and classroom management needs improvement. The security guard is rude to parents and children alike, and has been caught cursing at students, yet still has her job. The secretary is lazy, rude to parents and children, and does her best to avoid answering the phone. I had to call the school once during an emergency and she did not answer the phone for almost an hour. The only staff who are outstanding at this school are the paraprofessionals, without whom the school could not function. I do not recommend this school at all.
