The school definitely isn’t the most high-end place ever, but the staff do their best to keep up with everything. There’s a wide range of classes to choose from each year, especially after covid, there’s a lot of flexibility when it comes to completion of homework. Now, it’s a public school so I cannot say everything is wonderful, fights do happen, the lunch meals are questionable, and holding kids responsible with passes or getting to class on time isn’t heavily enforced. But the school is overall one of the better public high schools around.

Biggest problem is behavior problems disrupting the classrooms and field trips. I have seen this first hand as a parent who volunteered on multiple field trips. These distractions I believe contribute to less learning and low test scores. We pulled our children out of this school and put them into a charter school as a result of These problems. I would not be surprised if attendance is reducing as more families do the same and unfortunately the good families are the ones leaving.

The teachers at this school are great! The new administration, Hagerty, is incompetent. Sudent behaviors are out of control and there is no consequences for negative behaviors. Students that excel and are respectful are ignored. For example, they are the only middle school in the district that doesn't have an academic honors ceremony for 8th grade. This was a quality school with the previous admin, but now out of control.
