Great school. Great sport programs. Would recommend.

Stay away from this school if your kid is academically-inclined. They will not acknowledge your kid’s accomplishments/ achievements. The ratings are self-earned by kids- neither teachers not staff do anything extra- there are hardly any ceremonies/ celebrations. Kids are nice but the school is a big let-down. I am glad my daughter only attended 8th grade here.

The school functions more like an extended daycare than an actual place of learning. While they go to great lengths to create the illusion of fun and engagement, the reality is that meaningful education is virtually nonexistent. Their so-called "Learners' Showcase" is an empty display of superficial activities, and rather than celebrating it, they should be embarrassed by the lack of real academic growth it exposes. The principal and teachers seem more invested in turning the school into a glorified party zone than in providing a real education. Their focus is on entertainment rather than academic growth, creating an environment that feels more like an extended daycare than a place of learning. The so-called "Learners' Showcase" is nothing more than a hollow display of this misguided approach—something they should be embarrassed by rather than celebrating. The school bombards parents with countless flyers and reminders for events like the Read-a-Thon, which is more about fundraising than fostering a love for reading. Meanwhile, truly educational opportunities, such as UIL or anything that actually benefits students academically, are buried in tiny footnotes within random emails. Their priorities are clear—over-communicate when it involves collecting money, but barely mention activities that contribute to real learning. Rather than investing in academic rigor or meaningful enrichment programs, the school is obsessed with trivial theme days, dress-up events, and social gatherings that serve no real educational purpose. Students are constantly distracted by non-academic activities, leaving little room for actual learning. Instead of prioritizing strong curriculum and intellectual growth, they treat school like a never-ending carnival.
