Our 8th grader was new to this school this 2008-2009 school year. My only complaint is the lack of response from teachers and staff to emails, phone calls and even hand written letters. If responses occurred, it was many days later. Teachers seems very enthusiastic during parent/teacher conferences

I have a very different view on this school. I find the secretaries rude. Any time I've been in the office I have felt that I'm a bother to the staff. When you walk into your school office you should feel secure in that the staff can locate your child if needed, or locate your records, or even one
