We are a school-wide Title 1 school, serving over 85% of our students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, and 69% are identified as English Language Learners. We have an active PTO, and our parent community is involved in our school by regularly attending various of family education functions and student celebrations. Such family functions include Literacy Night and Principal Chats.
