This school failed our child on the basics we should assume every school will do for our kids. The teachers and administration failed to support our child with the necessary supports needed to support their disabilities. Upon attempting to work with the school to address them with a 504 and it not working we were told that everything that was needed wasn't available to them. All along they qualified for an IEP which would address their needs. The teachers and administration failed to keep them safe from verbal and physical abuse from students refusing to address student's behaviors that left our child nowhere to turn. The teachers and administration failed to understand how child development in neurodivergent children is different than neurotypical children which led to our child being excluded from learning time and physical activity.

Worst middle school I’ve ever dealt with. After several incidents involving my son, there was no apology, the staff was unfriendly and unprofessional, and the school never responded or followed up. My son was embarrassed, singled out, and left in tears.Especially the people who work in the office — they were the most unfriendly, defensive, and unprofessional staff I’ve ever encountered. Instead of helping or communicating respectfully, they made the situation worse with their attitude and lack of care. The communication at this school is extremely poor, and the way they treat students and parents is completely unacceptable.

Great high school. Challenging curriculum and welcoming community.
