Teachers are highly trained and very caring and understanding to students needs. Administration is highly effective and present at ALL student after school programs. This is a big school but there is high parental involvement and great care is given to all students regardless of age, race, income and educational level.

This school failed my child miserably. They took my child out of her only elective class to help her with reading comprehension. I watched her go down hill from that point on. I was hopeful they would help and backed their decision to take the one class away she looked forward to. At the end of the year she still struggles and had an F in ELA. Then she was excluded from all 8th grade activities. The field trip, was not invited to the 8th grade ceremony, Friday night live because of her grade. She has never been in trouble at school, has great attendance. I went and talked to the principal and told them this was not fair. I was told she wasn't the only one, so I asked how many 8th graders made their standers. I was so shocked to learn close to a third of the 8th grade was excluded from any 8th grade celebration. That is a huge number. It says alot about this school and how students are treated. If you are smart you will have no problems. If your child struggles don't expect this school to do them any good. They give them no hope and push them down.

Some of the teachers act like they would rather be working a fast food job than working here. Som expect so much from every single student when In reality, not every student learns the same speed. Some teachers give out so much work and get mad when something isn’t done in time.
