AnyTHING has to be better than the former principal.

Greatschools.org gives it a 3 out of 10.
We left an elementary school that was a 5 out of 10 because we just couldn't take it.
That said, ratings aren't everything. I do know people in that area. One family absolutely refused to send their child there and would have moved if another option didn't work out for them.
So I wouldn't say it's a definite no but I'd say it's definitely worth doing a lot of research. I hope someone on here can provide specific insight for you.

there is a new principal this year

I don't have any personal knowledge of this school. It is a title I school and receives Federal funding. Look at the statistics on at-a-glance on the website shown.

ESOL and FARMS number are numbers you need to be comfortable with.

Anyone have any opinions? We are looking at a house in that area.
Thanks.
