THIS WAS THE WORST SCHOOL EXPERIENCE AND HAVE EVER ATTENDED. i had a White history teacher lady with curly red-ish hair. I had a lot of mental health problems in school and once had a meeting with my teachers where i cried and she ROLLED HER EYES in front of me and my mom the entire time. I would ask for makeup work and she in front of the class said “are you even going to do it” SO INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL. This School does not care about your children’s education, happiness or health. They made my life miserable here as a high schooler. She would also flirt with boy students in the class. I had to move schools to even be able to graduate because of how little school counselors cared.

School looks nice now that they rebuilt it, but don't let it fool you. Unfortunately the school is underfunded, so there are way too many students per class. There is a heavy grading curve where a 50% will get your student a C. IEP is absolutely useless as they won't help your child even when their grades are clearly suffering. They're okay with letting many students slip through the cracks. They have very little programs. Teachers upload grades late or follow the IEP. They only use the Powerschool portal and there is virtually no communication from teachers. However the school will SOMETIMES post to their Facebook group for school updates and events. They provide laptops for schoolwork and heavily rely on it. If you ask them for help for your child they will say they have too many kids. If you have a child with a elarning disability, steer clear or get yourself an advocate.

I sent my son here for the preschool program and completely fell in love with this school. Our home school doesn’t offer preschool, which is how we first found it, and I’m so grateful we did.First, the campus is amazing. It was built in the early 2000s, so it still has that newer school feel, but it has also been around long enough for the trees and landscaping to fully mature. The grounds are beautiful, and parts of it genuinely feel more like a private club than a public school. It is such a welcoming and pleasant environment to be in.The parent community is another huge reason we love it. The families here are warm, down-to-earth, and the kind of people you truly want in your community. It feels easy to connect with other parents, and there is a real sense of belonging.Truthfully, though, my favorite part of this school is its inclusivity and support for children with disabilities. This school truly knows how to do inclusion well. They have an incredibly strong special education and social-emotional support team. The special education teachers are highly trained, many with advanced degrees and specialized expertise, and that level of knowledge and care absolutely carries over into the general education environment as well. You can feel that the entire school culture is built around supporting all children and helping them thrive.Another thing that stands out is the office staff. They are warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming, which can honestly be hard to find at a school. It is so refreshing to walk into the front office and be greeted with friendliness and care.The principal is also fantastic. He clearly values parent engagement, is open to ideas, and truly welcomes collaboration from families. It feels like parents are seen as partners, which makes such a difference.Overall, this is a warm, inclusive, and beautifully run school community, and we have had such a positive experience here.
