My daughter attended 6th grade before pulling her out. The school has killed any inspiration for learning she once had. The leadership is downright incompetent as we and other families we know have had zero support/accountability on issues ranging from bullying, drug solicitation in the bathrooms, antisemitism, students with needs not getting their entitled benefits, overall poor academics... I know my daughter didn't feel safe going there after an incident she had...in addition to a bomb scare that cancelled the first day of school. There was also a legit firearm threat that was fortunately neutralized by police before anything happened, but the campus format is completely unsecure. From all accounts, there apparently are a few teachers there who are competent and inspirational, but my daughter didn't experience any of them. Zero stars for the administration. After dealing with them, a strong vote of "no confidence." If you are a voter reading this, it's time to oust Turnbull and get a real staff. They have completely failed the community.

AMAZING school! My child has attended 3 years here and has had a very positive experience. The atmosphere is very inclusive and united. I've NEVER witnessed or heard of any bullying or rude behavior here. They have young staff members who are very good with interacting with the students and can lend an ear and give some advice when kids are having a hard day. The principal stands out front and greets every kid every morning and knows each student by name. They have fun assemblies and events. To top it off, it's at a beautiful location sitting on top of a sunny hill away from the main road and traffic. It's always felt very safe and supportive here and I cannot praise it enough!
