This middle school reflects the values of the principal which is very different from what the majority of the community want.

However, I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone. Read less

As far as extracurricular activities they are very good. the school does not fund them hardly at all until u get to High School. If your child has any behavioral problems at all do not send them to this school, they will have a very hard time. The 'positive learning center' isn't actually so positive.
