(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I read in the news that this school had 25 police call in two weeks time period. What are they doing in there?
On top of that you get the JFK bullies and gang members who like to hang around to pick on the older kids.

(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school should be a middle school. The reason why is because so many kids from School 14, and School 19 coming here for 5th grade through 8th.
