Good experience until a false CPS claim was made. Then, I didn’t trust the school personnel. Now, I rate the school with a “fair”!

Horrible I'm taking my child out ! Never a steady teacher ,the communication with parents are horrible I know nothing if I don't ask ,the principal needs to go ,they're more focused on attire than education. Don't do it if you want your child to have a good education!
