My daughter is currently a student at this school. Also my son graduated 10 years ago. The principal is a great person. Every student loves him. He is making a big difference in the school. Town is very safe with very low crime rates so is the school. Education is very good, probably better than most of the neighbor towns.i

This school worsened my mental health and does not care about anyone at all. Do not go here.

I appreciate the school and the teachers—they’ve been wonderful. However, I’ve had a very different experience with the new security officer. Unlike the previous security officer, who was consistently kind and welcoming, the current officer often comes across as rude and selectively unfriendly, particularly toward non-white parents.I’ve personally observed him being friendly and courteous to some individuals smiling, opening car doors, and greeting them warmly in the morning —while showing noticeably negative body language and unwelcoming expressions toward other parents. On one occasion, While some kids are warmly greeted in the morning, I saw him raise his voice at a non-white child telling them to hurry because they were late, which felt inappropriate given that his role is to ensure student safety, not enforce attendance.Several parents have expressed similar concerns. The behavior can feel selective and creates discomfort rather than a sense of safety and inclusion. Security personnel play an important role in fostering a welcoming environment, and it’s concerning when their actions seem to have the opposite effect in the society. Sometimes to the point of escalating tension in the society hiding their anger under the uniform.
