I admit when I looked at the great schools score I was nervous about my child attending. But I have been pleasantly surprised with this school. Her teachers have been amazing communicators and my daughter has said nothing but positive things about the teachers and their care and understanding. We are a military family and they went out of their way to meet with my child and ease her transition to a new school and state. My only complaint would be with the other students themselves —— there were a lot of behavior issues in her classroom. … but I believe that has more to do with the students parents than with the school.

I have 3 students that attended this school, although great students they all struggled with teachers that treated them poorly and did not assist when asked; the principal was absolutely awful and students AND Staff were not friendly to newcomers. Students bullied and threatened my children's lives regularly and administration did nothing. Many of the teachers, coaches and administrators have lived here and grown up together, and in my experience I learned quickly will cover up for each other. My students were offered or witnessed drug use on campus regularly and when they reported it circled back to the students from the staff and they were threatened. Were were told there was nothing they could do. The police officer at the school even shared that it is so bad that he is pursuing another line of work. Additionally, my senior with straight A's who has played baseball his entire life AND excelled AND had already been playing Varsity baseball was encourage to not try out for the team, when he did he was the ONLY senior to tryout and was told by the coach and player that if you aren't from here you will not make the team - and he didn't! Academically, his class were so poorly taught that he began pointing out that it was as if her we taking middle school classes over again.

It is so good with friends and family
