My child is in 6th grade and I was nervous my child would be overwhelmed with how many students there are. My child loves this school. He loves most of his teachers. He says all the Staff Mr Boyle and Mr Tames do an amazing job to curtail any problems that arise. They know the personalities of their students and are able to hold them accountable for their actions. There have been some fights during the school year but for a school that has 12 homerooms in each grade of about 30 kids in each homeroom for each grade it's expected. If you feel your not being heard or your child isn't getting their fair share. The parents need to communicate this to the Dean or Asst Principal. My child just loves this school. I'm hoping 7 thand 8 th grade is just as enjoyable.

my current experience as a freshman is alright. some kids bully me about me being bi and whatnot but id say thats just kids being kids, they ignore the urge to support us, which i get. teachers are nice if youre on their good side, and even if youre not, that would be totally fine. one thing id like to mention is that you get punished for defending yourself in a physical altercation as per school policy, which i dont really get. i was in a fight (yeah already) where i had to defend myself and i got after school detention. i see where theyre coming from but still. a little loophole i noticed too is that although tests are scheduled and out of control for teachers to decide when they are, they can decide when quizzes happen, which means you can have 2-3 quizzes in a day some days. however, i like the flexibility with scheduling, given the 1st-8th period or 2nd-9th period schedules, and that you can change your lunch period to fit your needs. overall a good school. not the best of the best but its still a nice school, especially considering it is a public school and not a private school.

Excellent on every category! I am a very happy parent with a child with IEP
