Jo Ann (the vice principal) is a bully and demonstrates passive aggressiveness towards other adults, which creates a very toxic environment. The principal doesn't even respond to emails or phone calls. The teachers are nice and seem to genuinely care about the kids. If the administration fails, how can the school function? This place is setting itself up for a potential lawsuit in the near future with this "I don't give a care" mentality.

The school used to be a warm and welcoming place. This year, there is a new principal (who started toward the end of last year) and the shift in culture is more than a little noticeable. My student is afraid of the new principal and talks about how the principal is always yelling and not using manners when talking with students and teachers. Never a please or thank you, lots of commands. The IB curriculum is great and there are many fantastic and caring teachers and staff members. The facility is older but they are slated to get a new building. They technology is one to one. They use chrome books for all grades which is challenging for the K students. They used to have ipads but for some reason the district changed that post the covid shutdown.

As an alumnus of Scarlett Middle I have nothing but good to say about it. They really make it feel like one big family. I always felt like I had someone to talk to whether that be academically or mental health wise. Would recommend

This is school is horrible and a fate worse than death; to send your child here is to send them to a slow death. over the course of 4 years this school will beat the life out of your kid.
