Great school. Music department run by Matt Barnhill is the best experience I've ever had. He's the true definition of someone who cares about their students. He's what inspires me to go into music education.

This school was a fiasco for my child. Administration cannot manage and are impossible to talk to. No communication from teachers. I don’t get it?! It used to be the school to go to in the county. now it’s the school to avoid. Glad my student is out of there before it had any lasting damage.

Ineffective and poorly organized. Mold, cockroaches and leaking roof to endanger children's health. Bullying is allowed and not addressed appropriately. Child is told the teacher needs to see in order to stop. Argumentive office staff and teachers who do not return email or phone calls.
