As a parent of two students, I appreciate that the school offers strong programs in arts, sports, and many extracurricular activities. Those opportunities are a real positive for the students.However, the administrative side is frustrating. The front office feels bureaucratic, and it’s almost impossible to speak with a counselor or staff member without waiting a week or more.In addition, the service at the front desk has felt unprofessional and unwelcoming at times unless you are PTA parent or such. Since it’s the first point of contact for parents, a more respectful and helpful attitude would make a big difference.Lastly, some classes assign an excessive amount of homework, even during school breaks, which doesn’t seem to consider students’ need for rest physically and mentally.

This school is great! The teachers are wonderful, they really care about their students and try very hard to create a happy environment. Both the principal and vice principal are engaging and actively participating in the kids and families. This is one of the best schools in the area for students with IEPs and/or special needs. They do not pull the kids from class constantly like some other schools do nor do they have a negative reinforcement approach. I highly recommend this school!

i dont like this school at all. let me just say, it is horrible. for one, the environment. there are fights basically every day, and on the last day of our second trimester, there were 7+ fights that day. also, there are just many bullies and people who harass others, both in plain sight, but rarely anything is done. another is the fact that you dont get the electives you choose. theyre switching this up next year but i suspect itll be the same. for one, you have two electives. although that makes class shorter, it means that there are more unwanted electives you can have. and in my year, when i chose my electives i was excited. but then i looked at my schedule, and i got none of the electives. they say they want you to venture into new paths but that is just absolutely stupid. i want the electives i chose, not the ones you chose for me. and they let you choose backups just in case your main choices are full, yet i didnt get my backup choices. last but not least is the fact that the teachers can seem condescending or passive aggresive. they can also pressure you into stuff. im not gonna name anyone but when choosing my 8th grade electives, i felt like my teacher pressured me into choosing a class i didnt want as it would stress me out. dont get me wrong, there are some great ones (shout out mr. mckelvey, mr. lawrence, mr. best you guys are cool) but still man there are some that are not as good. there are so many more problems i have, like the rotating schedule, their ignorance to the fact that they are part of the reason our test scores are low, all their lies (just in general), but i am half asleep writing this so thats all i'll say.
