I love this school! I know it sounds weird to have a student liking a school, but I do! The homework isn't alot, but it isn't so little that you feel like there is none. They have so many clubs to join as well such as cottilain and student council. The no-bulling program is great too, though there are

I do believe my son has received an above average education for 6th grade. I loved his Math and Science teachers. They were consistant with how they assigned homework out to the students. We, as a family, were able to judge and balance out our time quite nicely with how the two teachers assigned
... Read more homework and projects. I feel with the other teachers; Social Studies, Language Arts, and Write Study Skills were not consistant and at times a large assignment was given out on a Thurday and due on the following Tuesday. Some of these assignments took 12 - 16 plus hours for my son to finish. I do feel the students get more homework that what is suggested by the District. I also sense that a few teachers waste time discussing topics that are not revelent to the subject they they teach. I do appreciate the no bullying policy. Read less

Do not assume your kids can get a superior eduction in this school which is well-known in terms of its API scores. From my experience, this school does not provide enough instruction and frankly lots of parents here enroll their kids in outside tutoring programs. There is very little homework and not
... Read more a lot of challenging stuff either. Kids are not motivated in learning, and what is even worse, sometimes they are just simply graded on efforts instead of real performance. Just think of having to write only about five essays in a whole school year for your language arts class, and a paper with fancy decoration gets a better score than some with real substance. With that said, some of the teachers are really good, and lots of parent volunteers are very dedicated. Read less

I agree that this school is a mess. Kids are not getting the full middle school experience because of the low quality of everything, including students. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!

This is a wonderful school. My son and all of his friends thoroughly enjoy their school days-academic and social. Any bullying is taken seriously, it is not tolerated and is dealt with immediately. Students can make anonymous incident reports to staff to have social issues dealt with. The parent

Administration staff and teachers are eager to know about and handle what these parents are describing. The academics and teachers are really excellent. It is a very well run, safe and happy school. Great students, teachers and staff! Read less

My child also hates attending the school due to the harrowing experience with other children. Bullying seems to be pretty common. If not for the teachers, my child would not attend this school. Hope the school board does something about it.
