I hate this school, most employees are very rude and don't even get me started on the bus drivers, they kicked kids off the bus for no reason, they think that just because they see or hear something wrong they assume that it was a random kid and kick them off the bus. I do NOT recommend this school.

The score 9/10 is only because pressure is placed on the teachers and students to provide high test scores. The school is a toxic environment for teachers and students. There are some slivers of positive aspects of the school but everything trickles down from poor leadership which is the current principal. The teachers and students feed off the negative energy that the principal exudes. She treats the students like they are mini adults instead of children. She needs retraining. The teachers perform poorly due to the stress they feel from principal. If your child goes here…. Stay involved. Ask questions and ask principal what she did about a situation that you went to her about. Often she does not follow up and gaslights. She has more of an authority type leadership. Definitely not well suited for middle school. One time she said “ you are an embarrassment” to a child. Not appropriate to say.

My kid went here for 2 years and what a mistake it was. He never wanted to talk about school and didn’t seem learn a whole lot. Nice teachers and admins but it didn’t connect with my kid. 1.5 months in a new school and he’s loving it, started speaking Spanish and his reading and math are on point now. And he doesn’t stop talking about all the things they learn.
