My kids didn't like going to school here. The only saving grace was one really good teacher. The principal doesn't care about the kids. She is rude and full of herself. The lunch food was pretty bad. Peer behavior was awful.

Kids get jumped on and bullied and nothing is done about it from administration

Some of the staff look for potential students to recruit for counseling to make it look like they are doing their jobs. In my opinion they label students based on their personal opinions and views. My child was labeled a threat to the school and was recommended for alternative school all because he was playing like he had a weapon. He was 5 at the time with a speech delay. So when asked about the incident, the teacher traumatized him to the point he could not answer the questions that were being forced on him all at once. He did not understand why he was treated that way and came home the next day begging to stay home because he did not want to go back to school.This could have been a teaching moment. However, the administration wanted to scold him and label him. After that day, things went south and fast. He is currently thriving in school and is loved by all of his teachers. We are blessed to have teachers that actually care and are patient.

You will get what you put in but it’s all available if you want it. Academics, extracurriculars, networking, and very welcoming socially. Can’t say enough good things.
