I also think that this is a great school. We moved, and I am sad that my children had to leave. Wonderful teachers!

This is a great school! Teachers are excited about education and abreast of current teaching trends. Technology is used and students are challenged and well prepared. Four of my children went here and were well prepared for not only Middle School, but High School and beyond.

The school is challengingly diverse -- most kids are from high poverty homes. Like most schools in this situation, testing scores fail to impress. In the good news are the teachers, some of whom have served there 20 years and are some of the best in the entire state. These teachers have sacrificed nclb bonuses to work with these kids and garner scores well above national averages for this economic category. Simultaneously, they have turned ordinary middle class students into leaders. The few neighborhood kids that attend this school have gone on to stellar academic careers. In the bad news, I'd have to fault the administration. The principal's focus is on the most needy. That appears to be such an overwhelming task that she comes across as indifferent to challenges middle class kids face.

This school has become dysfunctional over the 15 years I've been associated with it in my neighborhood and with 4 students attending. The Principal appears to be totally focused on 'being the boss'. The teachers have grown apathetic and defensive. The principal who insists on being at all parent teacher conferences but blankly stared when asked for suggestions to help a struggling student. No help. Past teachers were engaged and proactive. The administration seems to have everyone cowed. Even PTO is a target.
