This was my first choice of middle school for my daughter. . After enrolling her, going to the orientation and seeing the school. I realized it wasn't a good fit for us. They aren't very organized and I can see issues happening in the long run. They scheduled orientation on street cleaning day. They had many open parking spots in their parking lot, but didnt allow me to park there when i called. We had to walk from BROADWAY. During the orientation, they said 5 points was giving 1 PE shirt for free, just sign our name when we get there. I go down there and they know nothing about it. Just wasted my time.
The school itself is extremely small despite how it looks on the outside. Everything is pretty outdated, the rooms are hot. The hallways are narrow. The middle school shares with an elementary, which makes it way smaller. Their yard is half of a parking lot, separated by a yellow line (they should have their employees find parking and walk. Not put the kids second by dividing their play area). Students have to take their PE uniforms everyday because they dont have enough lockers for the small amount of kids that attend here. Their locker rooms are basically in the basement.
For me, there was to many red flags here. My daughter is coming from Latona Avenue Elementary and everything there was amazing and well organized.
