this school is kept in a bad condition, the food sucks and sells expired food, milk, and juice, the counclers don't really help with mental issues and all they tell you is to either talk with a parent, teacher, or an adult. the food makes you nauseous, the chicken is UNDERCOOKED. Not gonna lie some of the teachers are really rude, and the school is kind of gross

I been going to this school since 3rd grade, the teachers are outstanding and involved, so are the parents. Its not as overcrowded as before because they are really taking care of the people that don't live in the area, I learned how to speak and write English here, and last year on the 6th grade writing FSA I got a 10/10, and a 4 on the reading FSA, I never been good at math but the math teachers here are excellent. Not only they have amazing academics but they make you feel like family.

My impression is that they only care about the kids that will help their test scores so they get funding. The special needs assistance is a joke.
