With my older son, last year, I would've rated this school poorly. In fact, we removed him from Aragon due to the school's lack of assistance in stopping the bullying my son rc'd. It was with reluctance that I enrolled my younger son there this past year. He has autism and needed the special ed services.

Aragon has some great staff who work very hard to help the children. There is, unfortunately excessive student conflict and bullying. I believe that the administrators truly care about the children, but the problem is pervasive. Test scores for the school are also slipping.

My daughter is an eight grader at Aragon, and she really likes it.

Sometime she's stressed because
