It's a very standard school. As someone who graduated from this school, I can confidently say that students at this school do not respect their teachers or the faculty. It really is just an issue of students not wanting to go to school or have to obey basic rules. If you want to do well in this school and beyond there are plenty of opportunities to do so, it's just that many students do not want to be at school.

As a parent, I am honestly shocked by what has become normalized at this school. Fights in the hallways, kids screaming in the halls, vaping/drug-related behavior in bathrooms, bullying, peer intimidation, and constant social drama are treated like business as usual.Middle school conflict is one thing. This goes far beyond normal adolescent drama when aggression, disrespect, and unsafe behavior seem so commonplace.What is most frustrating is the complete lack of confidence that meaningful intervention happens when concerns are raised. Families should not feel like they are left to deal with bullying, peer conflict, and safety concerns largely on their own while serious behavior issues continue.Schools cannot control every child’s choices, but they absolutely control expectations, accountability, and culture. From a parent perspective, this school has a serious student behavior and bullying problem, and the lack of effective intervention is deeply concerning.

I love this school! My oldest daughter has high functioning Autism and is doing awesome here! Very inclusive and the staff is very supportive. My nero-typical child is doing awesome too!.
