School Reviews
2 2/28/2012
The academic program needs improvement. Music, art, and sports are jokes. Students receive little to no recognition for their efforts. The facilities do not have a separate dining room or an auditorium. Children eat in the gym or classroom. There is very little communication between teachers and parents, unless a child does something wrong. There is no PTO or PTA.

- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
