Great place for opportunity and college-readiness prep if you know what you're doing. Teachers and counselors should be more encouraging with students, and lots of students here have wasted potential due to lack of interest.

Sports is a big thing at this school. Education is given very less importance. Involved parents and committed students do well and the school advertises them as though it was due to their hard work. Communication with parents is very very poor or should I say Nil. They send emails and phone messages about school dances, fund raising events or for anything that needs money. But educational related like Mathcounts, Spelling Bee, Science Fair, Who wants to be Chemist or any other activities, Parents do not hear anything at all. Kids are informally told in the class about the event and not encouraged to Participate. My son as a kinder and Preschooler used to participate in Science Fair at another State and School with so much enthusiasm. But now in Middle school he doesn’t show any interest. Teachers are good but not sure why they don’t encourage students to excel and go beyond. May be they are not taken care of well by the School. Principal is very unfriendly and doesn’t even smile when he sees Parents, except when he knows them personally. Overall not very happy.
