This is my local attendance school. My son has not yet started kindergarten there, so I can only comment on my limited experiences with the administration and what I’ve heard from current parents.
This is a good school. It’s a big school and like all schools in its situation, not everybody finds it a good fit. But the new principal, Ms. Sugrue, has been very responsive and even gave me a tour of the school after I attended an LSC meeting today. She’s clearly very proud of all that they’re doing and will be doing at the school. The brand new assistant principal also seems like a great addition to the team.
What I heard at the meeting seemed to indicate that there is a dedicated team of educators and administration at the school that is working hard to provide a good educational environment with less and less funding and resources. The school facilities were in good condition. They even acquired funding for an art and dance teacher.
With more community support, this good school could easily be an awesome school. But any prospective parents should at least reach out to the new principal and start a conversation. I think you’ll be greatly surprised, in a good way.
I will revisit this once my son starts school there and I have a sense from inside. But so far, things are looking better than I had expected.

The administrators at this school have no people skills… They don’t know how to talk to parents and they act like it’s their way or noway. Over the past several years this school has been going downhill and some much needed changes are necessary.

this school has seen its better days, it really has spiraled down hill. there are better schools with less violence and student issues than this one. the staff has become lacking but the students are increasing…
