If you have any problems with your mental health do not go here the high school iep teacher is great but me and many other students that dealt with the middle school iep teacher had extremely bad experiences with her whenever i was having a panic attack in school which was almost daily her plan was to completely ignore me if i tried to talk to them they would act as if I wasn't there because to them i had bad behavior problems and i was faking panic attacks so i could go home staff don't seem to care about students getting bullied a student threw scissors at my friends head and all they did was separate their seats obviously this did nothing they kept harassing my friend from what i know the school did absolutely nothing to stop him I do my schooling online and go into school for around half the day I do not like this school but they do have an amazing band and art teacher most of the elective teachers are nice but especially those two and the high school iep teacher is really helpful

I learned how to gain public speaking skills and the skills needed to become a hardworking student. Without the tightness and the smallness of the school I don't think I would have been able to do good at all.

I've always had good experiences with my teachers. They genuinely care about the students and will do anything and everything to help them succeed academically, and just in life in general.
