    "This school is bad and good. Some teachers are bad and some are good. The principal is sweet and kind but some teachers think they own everything."

    "The teachers, particularly those who taught my son in the lower grades, are very dedicated. It seems that there is a problem with disciplining disruptive students, though, especially those in the upper grades."

    "This school is lacking, every thing. My 12 yr. was falling behind, the teacher was more annoyed than helpful, my daughter withdrew all together. The teacher waited way months before contacting me, only after a lesson was way beyond a 5th grader grasp was incomplete. The principle was unreachable until I brought in a lawyer. the vice principle is more than distracted during at least seven conversation. Distracted by the chaos of fighting students daily. the school had no helpful hints."

    "The administration needs improvement. There needs to be disipline in this school. The students are disrespectfull. Some of the staff are very rude. There are a few very good teachers there, that have been there for years, these teachers honestly care about the kids and thats why they have stayed for so long, if your child is fortunate enough to get one of these teachers then you are very lucky. My child will not be returning next year. I have found a much better school."

    "We had an bullying incident with my 11 year old and I must say that the situation was handled immediately and to mine and my daughter's satisfaction. She has 2 more years there and she loves it now! She has excelled in class and extra curricular activities as well as became a member of the Disston Dragons. All in all I'd say they are making a turn for the better."
