This school is terrible! They have done nothing for my son when he was being threatened and bullied. But when he stands up for himself, he gets in trouble. They also do not have a safe environment, with fist fights almost every day, and by the time they are stopped, people are already hurt. On top o
Posted by a parent on 5/22/2026We have had a 5 star experience at this school. For a public school we believe they have performed better than the local private schools in so many areas.
