hello, i would say this is a pretty nice school. the staff aren't the best. but overall it's not too bad. i think I've learned a lot while having some experience stepping in this school. the staff don't get treated to well, especially the custodians , they never have a smile, and the food is meh. i think The pizzas great, but overall i give It a "ok" review. thanks for reading. thanks for ur time.now get better staff.

All faculty cared for students safety, as if we were all there kids. Minor incidents were handled as if they were major, and they spoke with the student body to make sure they know the consequences that come with each incident. There were posters in each hallway, and teachers were always welcoming students to speak to them about any issues that they had in or out of the school.

They pick and choose who to punish based not on fairness, but on whethe...

My child recently went through a traumatic event outside of school and her homeroom teacher immediately suggested a school counselor. The counselor has checked in on my child for three weeks in a row now. My family appreciates the support from the school. Thank you.

My daughter has been bullied a few times -- and they have written reports for each time. However, they never contact me about it. I always have to contact them stating what my child told me happened. Academically I think the school is great, but some of these kids are allowed to say whatever they wa...

My kids are always excited to go to school, and they tell me how great their specials are. However, it seems like their expectations are much higher than the actual quality of teaching. It seems when I go over assignments with them, they have no idea how to do anything. They mention it was gone over...
