Amazing school, not to clean but really good for students.
2 11/11/2011
kids spend more time in ISS than in classroom. waste of taxpayer money.
2 2/22/2010
This school suffers as a D school because of its total lack of effective leadership. Quality teachers are forced out in favor of manipulating standardized test scores. Teachers are told to not give a grade below 50 and then given poor evaluations (punished) if they do not give out enough A's. Students and parents alike have learned to manipulate this system to receive grades they did not earn.
