This school was a good school for my son when he went but my daughter who is much younger than my son is switching schools due to the fact that this school has gone down pretty badly in the last couple of years. There is very few teachers and not enough being taught. Very sad to see this happening

This school has really gone downhill in the 10 years that I have been sending my kids here. There is more of an emphasis on sports than academics. They no longer offer extracurricular activities such as drama, chess, band or cheer leading. They have one counselor that is not qualified to prepare the students for college applications, scholarships etc. The principal is pretty old school and more about treating the children like they are in the military than a school. I feel very sad that this school ranked in the higher percentages ten years ago, and now they are really falling behind. They don't even seem to care about the kids that are doing really well. Last year the Valedictorian couldn't even come up with a good speech without plagiarizing half of it, and nobody was listing to him to boot! So sad and disrespectful. I will not be sending my daughter to this high school and have her go through what my other kids went through.
