"If any of you guys are considering to enroll your child into this school, take a step back & really think about what you’re doing. This is the same school that has been on the news MULTiPLE times & it’s never about anything positive. The majority of the times that this school was on the news was in regards to students who would leave school (whether in the middle of the day or during dismissal) unattended without their parents present. There was a time when a student got out of the school’s main entrance without a jacket, while it was extremely cold & snowing out there. This all happened during the middle of the day. This news goes to prove how poorly of a security system that this school has. Their fake security are clearly either careless or oblivious as to what’s going on. One of the MOST garbage security systems in a public school. Besides their trash security team, the rest of the staff, including the teachers are no different. The majority of the employees at this school are aggressive, careless, disrespectful, ghetto people who lack professionalism. This is a GARBAGE school with the MOST GARBAGE security, teachers & other staff members."
