My child will share his school life with me every day when he comes home. He is very happy every day and the teacher is very patient.

I'm putting this review in as a freshman who is shocked by how the school treats a student's death. This year, two students have died. Both occurred not too far from each other, maybe a few weeks away. The first was announced to our class by a counselor. I was shocked to find that after the student died, it wasn't talked about more. It was very scary to me how no one seemed to care; there was no memorial or dedication page in the yearbook or anything! Felt very dystopian. And when the second student died, nothing was announced! They sent one email to the parents, and that was all. This is very irresponsible and scary. This school should put more effort into mental health stuff because clearly the whole idea of "come to us if you feel bad" isn't working. Also, there's a big racism problem due to the lack of diversity, so yeah, that's just something people will have to deal with.

I currently attend this school and am going to graduate soon. Their education is well rounded, giving students the ability to prepare for state testing. Though, I want to address how most math teachers are giving material to the students and making them learn about the subject themselves. Since I don't have a tutor, taking home the homework and trying to finish it is such a long process of reviewing the book and trying to look online for help. Also, the safety of this school is quite questionable, I witnessed a fight break out in the bathrooms of the locker room with two girls going at it. Bullying is frequent, but students hide it well so that the higher ups don't try to dig deeper. At this school, you might feel a sense of uncertainty and feel insecure at times, but most teachers help by giving you a break. The wind ensemble is amazing, the practice it takes to achieve this level and sound is extraordinary and the performances are such a thrill. Also, you'll be able to take school trips to perform in other schools or if you're in wind ensemble, they take you out of state, like they did this year. The choir is also a great way to explore what you like and helps build bonds and new friendships. Yearbook is also an elective, but if you're considering applying for it, some drama may unfold and your groups might split with the amount of stress to create a pages in a few weeks. There's also art and an advanced class for it. If you love to create projects and show your creativity, this elective will be a good fit. In 6th grade, your elective options are small. In 7th grade, you get to expand your spectrum of electives. In 8th grade, many unique elective choices will be given. To sum up, the school's electives are amazing, the teaching is a bit off in some classes, the safety or emotional support depends on the counselor you'll get for your grade, and family engagement are encouraged in activities.
