There's a lot of unaddressed bullying in this school. The children who hit and hurt others have no consequences, except for a call home.No follow up with the bullies, they just keep bullying the next child. Concerns are not taken seriously. Some of the teachers will openly speak negatively about their class or children to other parents; as a previous teacher, this should never be happening. It's apparent where the bullying & stress is stemming from. It's is a high stress environment, teachers are not sincere or welcoming.

The teachers my son has had are excellent, but the overall environment is unnecessarily rigid and heavily academic. Students have assigned seats at lunch and even when entering the building while waiting for the bell to ring. They are not allowed to choose where to sit or talk freely with friends, which creates a very controlled atmosphere. Many students refer to it as “River Jail.” This school is best suited for highly academic, self-motivated students, especially those in TAG. Students who are not top achievers tend to be overlooked. Homework is heavy (1.5–3 hours nightly) with a strong focus on standardized test prep. With late dismissal and bus rides, kids don’t get home until around 4:45 p.m., leaving little time for activities or downtime before starting more work. Support is limited/ineffective, and burnout is a real concern—my child is already exhausted, and he’s not even in high school yet.There are limited non-academic extracurricular options, no school dances, and low sports participation (6th graders cannot participate). For some students, this structured, high-pressure environment may be a good fit, but it has not been a positive experience for my child.

A great high school in the region. My son loves the school, friends and teachers.
