This school has greatly improved over the last few years. As the community is growing, and more people are moving in this area the school is growing as well. They have implemented an afterschool program and a summer camp and summer school program.It's a diverse school and very close knit families. It is definitely going to be getting better over the years. Though there are a lot of things that they can improve on, the School is getting there.

Our child has excelled at this Middle School. It is a lot different vibe than schools in the City but despite the outdated reviews we have had a great experience and our children have been prepared for high school. Mr. Z was one of the best teachers there. They have implemented an after school program which has helped. And I think the school is heading in an academic progressive direction. There are many students in which English is not their first language, so test scores seem to be affected by that, but overall a great school.

I see a lot of comments talking about the bad teachers and it only applies if you take standard classes. I’m a senior right now and I’ve taken standard classes in freshmen and sophomore years and I’ve taken AP and honors classes in junior and senior years and it’s a way better experience as the teachers have way more experience teaching and they are overall well equipped for teaching. My AP and honors class teachers have been amazing as they make the classes that would’ve been otherwise boring fun and interesting and make taking higher level classes worth it. If your a parent I would strongly recommend you encourage (or just force) your kids to take honors/AP classes because they really aren’t that hard unless your taking like 3+ of them and they help kids make friends in the right groups since most people who take standard classes make friends who don’t care about school or getting good opportunities for colleges and they end up not caring themselves. Also although I just wrote about how amazing AP and honors classes are, I would recommend not taking AP lit(or any branch of English) with any other class that has a lot of homework since I heard that it has quite a bit of homework and essays.
