Very recently, the school has had a variety of issues involving student well-being and the morals of the higher-ups at this school. Two noticeable incidents include when a young girl hit a young man, who in turn hit her at equal value. The man ended up getting punished far more harshly than the young lady who started the scuffle. Another instance would be when a young lady kicked a male student and the lady wasn't even punished while the male student was strictly disciplined. This school has done well in teaching students but has evidently failed in correctly punishing students. It is painfully clear that in the process of making female students feel welcomed and safe, they have made the male students feel targeted and unhappy. A positive thing however would be one of the staff members, Mr. Harrington. He is absolutely outstanding and truly sets the bar for teaching in general. That man is worthy of a memorial and should be treated as such. Anyone who has been lucky enough to meet him would agree, and those who haven't meet him should be pitied. Overall good school but the bias with students obviously needs work.

I was a student that has been at this school for three years. I have learned that the majority of the students are really nice, and the teachers that I had were very skilled at teaching. My favorite teacher was my band teacher, who can lead those who can barely blow correctly into a mouthpiece, into high school level songs in three years. I also loved the options and versatility of classes available, and will miss this school very much.

This school is horrible. I also pulled my child out after only one year. It was a year that will damage her for life. She was bullied and nothing was done about it. The administration swept it all under the rug to hide it. Don't send your kids there if you have a choice.
