As a former student way back then, I have every right to say that this school was not for me. I've had an difficult time in 7th and 8th grade. I was completely ostracized from my peers the entire year. I've been made fun of indirectly many times and treated like an alien. It wasn't a great system, every student would be divided into minor teams. ABCD for 7th grade. EFGH in 8th. With each team maybe ranging around 60~90 kids in each of them. I was on Team H then, and it was horrific. My peers would pick at my insecurities, everyone would have friends besides me, I've sat alone on lunch tables all day and been working separately my entire years. My teachers noticed that I was alone with no friends and yet they failed to ever accommodate me for group projects or reach out to me personally for being the only kid alone in an compacted environment. The hardest moment for me was when a lunch lady would give me sympathy for being alone the entire year, the same lunch lady who'd see me every day getting lunch and watch me sit alone. The same lunch lady that took action to encourage me, ones that my own teachers failed to do so even noticing my circumstances directly in classrooms. These teachers failed me in a safe environment. This is trauma I carry to myself to this day. It was hard being an 13 year old kid having no idea what to do when your entire grade was against you, teachers did nothing, and you were too scared to open up to your family. Now I'm in college and found a new life beyond that time.

This is an amazing school. Currently, the teachers and very supportive and kind. Almost two times every month, the school has some sort of family-bingo night, or another. My kids woke up happy to go there everyday. I appreciate the teachers communication skills and everything is emailed out to you days or weeks in advance.

This school is the best school. I do not wish for a second that I went anywhere else.
