i liked nothing, i think they need to change everything. They could like try to make education better the students, keep tabs on kids. (they want to grow up to fast). and try to want to care for the kids more. That's all i have to say, have a nice a day.

This school sucks it is terrible the teachers DONT care about the well being of the students
6/17/2025
This school was terrible and while there were some great teachers there were also horrible ones and overall no one did anything about bullying. They cared more about kids breaking dress code than they did kids being harassed. I hated my three years there. In my 7th grade they made us keep the girls...

The new principal & assistant principal run a tight ship & are very professional & courteous. The school is still under renovation (a few yrs to complete in phases) - so glad to see the old made like new! My son loves this school. Caring teachers & great kids. I love the 'no bullying' policy.
7/22/2013
The school is literally falling, the walls are cracked, teachers are unsatsfactory, The principals are a joke! Bullying haha! The administrators could care less. I do not want to go back for my eighth grade year. I really hope im not going back this year..
