My child went to this school and she has told me some very harsh experiences. The students were very rude to her for no reason, and same with the teachers.

This is my son's first year in middle school. He was bullied and the school effectively handled the issue.

Very pleasant experience. We moved from a different city and state where my son had a lot of problems with teachers and the staff was unfriendly. We had no issues with anyone here and his grades were even up. It was also easier getting him to go in the mornings.
