School Reviews

This school receives a bad rap. The teachers, staff, and principal work hard on teaching the whole child, not just academics. I have seen my child (who was making no progress in a public school) make unbelievable gains while attending this school. People really should appreciate this diamond in the ruff.

Any parent who sends their kids to this school is being irresponsible. This school incriminates BLACK kids for being a KID! Google their name and see how they further damaged and traumatized a young BLACK child! SO SAD!
