Some of the teachers genuinely care about the students and their progress. Some go above and beyond to actually want to help. However the Administration spends more time worrying about their image, rather than the children in their care which does not provide the teachers with the information they need to help their students.

Great staff, talented teaching pool: our 6th grader exceeded math standards last year; started concert band, loves his English, History and PE teachers. Astronomy night is always a hit! Recommend this middle school!

The teachers seem more interested in enforcing strict rules than nurturing students' growth and curiosity. The extracurricular activities are practically non-existent, leav...
