8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWent here K-8, and I have to say, through all 9 years, things only got worse. In grade 8, I was severely bullied. Never beaten up, but mental breakdowns became more common for me. The school did little to nothing about this. The teachers are great though! Although one teacher was sexist at one point..Anyways, I wouldn't recommend this school for a child with behavioral problems that are mild enough to not be in special Ed, but still at a noticable amount.Student Review3y ago - Metamora High School
