I would give this school 0 stars if I could. I attended this school for part of 6th and 7th grade. I was bullied horribly, by both peers and teachers. My parents talked to administrators to try and get the bullying to stop and nothing was done. The bullying escalated to the point that I was beaten up by a group of students on campus, I had broken bones and a concussion. The school refused to do anything because it was after school hours (around 3 pm). My parents removed me from this school and threatened get police involved. Only punishment to the bully was to apologize at an assembly. This is not a safe school to send your children.

This is quoted from a review of this school from 2016: "We have been there 4 years, through former and new principals. I have found that kids that are high performing and popular will do fine. You will see the same kids get recognized over and over. There is no support for the average student that starts to struggle. Head in the sand is their motto. Teachers and administration seem overly focused on extreme behavior issues and offer no encouragement for average to below average students that have not acted out. They are quick to let students make decisions (not necessarily a bad thing), but do nothing to hold them accountable or encourage higher performance. Late work is perfectly acceptable (I am sure this helps the school look better) and with the exception of one class there was never repercussion. I have repeatedly asked for help for my student only to get ignored.". Here in 2026, nothing has changed. If your student is self-motivated and driven to succeed, then they will probably do just fine. And the school will have no problem riding on the coattails of that student to make themselves look good. This school has a "student-led" mantra. And if your student is lacking/failing in any way, and you as a parent reach out, you will be met with resistance, made to feel like you're a burden on the admin/staff for even reaching out. You will be called "VERY involved parents" at showing that you actually care about the well-being and success of your child. Our child had 6 Fs through an entire semester, and was allowed to do make-up work during the last two weeks of class in order to "pass". This school only cares about making their numbers look good. Nothing of substance. Again, if your student is driven, they will probably do great. But do not look to the school admin to help if your student is falling behind in any way. That's apparently too much work for them. They want to be made to look good without doing anything to actually help when it is needed.

my daughter is really happy at this school, the staff are all great people. teachers are good in communicating with parents and childrens are safe at the building.. really happy..the only concern my daughter has it is about the food Not good at all. she saids a lot a kids prefer to go back home with an empty stomach after a long day at school because they do not like the lunch menu. hope they can do something about it. this will make it a 5 starz school.
