We have three children that have gone through this school and it is fantastic! The teachers are engaged in helping children of diverse backgrounds and learning styles succeed.

I am so disappointed in this school. The gifted services are a joke. The reason the school has high test scores is because of the parents teaching the kids at home. The teacher actually told me that "answering questions" was one of the gifted services she provided. When I met with the teacher, she acted like a child and kept smirking while I was talking. Horrible school, too big, go somewhere else.

Very poor, they encourage only kids who is doing good, worst strategy same across all the areas who study good they will be encouraged, who play good in sports they select in all the games, poor kid always does poor

Pros: -Technology is mostly up to date.-Unique Classes such as Media and Photoshop.-Good Security. Cameras everywhere and police in building.-School offers a lot of summer school options.-Good quality of education.-Tons of different teams. Soccer, football, tennis etc.-Plenty of after school clubs to choose from.Neutral: -Food is good, but it's nothing special. School district is pushing for healthier food options. -The school is kept reasonably clean. (They are not able to clean everything due to lack of janitors.)Cons:-Food is expensive. Expect to refill your child's account once a month with 60-80 dollars. -Too many administrators. The school has so many assistant principles I stopped counting.-Teachers rarely update Report Cards.-Teachers rarely respond to e-mails.-Lots of students. Expect your child to sometimes be tardy to classes.-It can take up to 30 minutes to leave school if your child drives by themselves due to the amount of students.Recommendation: It's an OK school for the next 4-5 years. After that expect the quality of education to decrease due to new houses. The district will have to build new schools which will increase already painfully high taxes. This is very similar to what happened to West Chester. If your child is currently attending elementary or intermediate this district may not be for you, as you will most likely see a decrease in quality of the years.
