Have times changed. This school has gone down hill in the last few years. The current administration is hindering the students abilities to learn in the real world. They make the teachers give redo's to the students so the grade point averages for the school will show better then they actually are. Then the children are moving onto high school and having to take remedial classes ( after being on honor roll at this school) she on the administration for thinking only of themselves. Stay far away from this school.
