GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Their program for students with disabilities does not have adequate teachers. There is NO gifted program only 4 electives to take so you are required to take all of them no matter your opinion. Students are VERY homophobic. Not so much racist. Some staff are absolutely horrible. Others are amazing though. I have witnessed a teacher throw a marker at a student and verbally abuse others. They are still not fired. The school is far too small for the amount of students it houses. The food is okay. Most incidents of bullying are completely swept under the rug. The elementary school rules and middle school rules are the same however they are far more lenient with the elementary. Overall I do not recommend this school for anybody.
