Disney Elementary Magnet School
After repeated incidents of bullying, drug use solicitations and stories about sexually active 12 year old children, I decided to take my children out of this school and enrolled them in a private school. The teachers are competent but unfortunately the quality of the pupils in the school has decreased significantly. Administration works hard to maintain the school's reputation, unfortunately, they have failed many students. My child ended up in the emergency room after being assaulted by another child with a history of agression towards other children. The agressor had just returned from a suspension the day he decided to assault my child.
