(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is old and needs to be torn down and replaced with a new one. Heck, it was positively aged when I went there in the mid 1960s! The number of private and parochial schools in that area nowadays attests to the decline of this school; sort of like the schools of Kansas City now.

- NO APPLES
i agree, there were always fights, graffiti on the walls, children cursing. A sorry excuse for a middle school.
