**Excellent** At the time, We had just moved to this neighborhood and was not impressed with the "old" brick school building. Once we met the staff and observe the students, all the fears were gone. Our son actually looked forward to going school each day. We felt the school environment very safe, encouraging for the children and without any sort of intimidation.

I like this school, the building could use a lot of work. There are a few specific teachers that you want to avoid so if you’re going here ask your friends who the teachers they didn’t like are. If you get the chance some great teachers are Mrs. Goodenow, Mrs. Zappone (English) Mr. Reiter, Mr. Spolls (History) Mrs. Chevalier (Spanish)Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Sprankle (Math)Mrs. McGaffin, and Mr. McGaffin (science)If you stick to this list your Freshmen year will be fun, and a good learning experience while not being too weighed down by your work these teachers usually don’t assign homework and if they do it’s not gonna take up your night it’s usually decently quick.

I go to this school. There are a few good teachers, but most of them are horrible. The school itself is falling apart, and he is in desperate need of repair. However, I say the overall learning experiences decent and sports are pretty good.
