    "I agree that the principal does not care, but the rest of the administrators care about the children continuously. Although, the work they gave was child's play (was not in ALPHA class, but got into SP in Jhs 194) I was always bullied in the school as well."

    "A great and safe school in a very nice neighborhood. Teachers are excellent and very dedicated. Alpha classes are challenging. Very active PTA and parents involvement."

    "If your child is not in alpha class, this school is not ideal. Principle is only focused on the alpha class. Alpha class will not accept new students even your kids improve dramatically. Principle is not nice and kind person. She is very compelling, not listening parents' opinion. She only cares about rating of the school. Some kids with not good manner are directed not to speak to evaluators of the school. During ESL exams for 5th graders, teachere misadministered not to answer some questions and some kids end up with no score. Principle's response is dull and not friendly since this incident happened not in alpha class. I was not satified with this school and principle."

    "I guess my review will not hold on for too long, because it is HONEST. Principal is very self centered and only interested in getting more money in her pocket. She collects misbehaving kids from the whole district, then dumps them all in one class. There is a "madhouse" in the classrooms, but parents are not allowed ( except open shool week) so no one knows what is going on. There is a bullying in the 1 and 2 grade already, but she cares less. Would not even talk to a parents in person. I would not be surprised if she changes the tests answers just to get a better scores and bonuses for herself and those who serve her dearly . Bad School!!!"
