I have a PreK3 student enrolled at this educational facility and while his teacher was exceptional, I found the administration as a whole to be a complete and utter disappointment. These individuals lack respect and empathy for the community of parents and children that they serve. It has been my experience that these individuals push and prod parents and students alike and then run and hide behind their fancy titles in an effort to present as educational professional, when in fact they are not. The administration abuse their authority for their personal benefit opposed to focusing on the betterment of the children served. The principal tends to support the negligence and/or manipulation of her subordinates even when their actions may go against her own better judgements.

Terrible school, terrible test scores, terrible work climate, the students run wild and the nice kids who want to do well are surrounded by behavior problems, a nasty climate, and subpar expectations. There are certainly nice families and many of the teachers are hard working, but it is nearly impossible for them to do their job due to piss poor leadership under the new administration. The principal and her two assistants are only in it for themselves and their resumes. They are nasty to teachers and students alike. Your child would be much better off in a surrounding public school.
