3/30/2016
I think the school is pretty safe, but there wasn't a nurse until 2012. The environment is safe to all students and students feel protected and safe while being at school. There wasn't much bullying at this school. I believe the school could have been more up to date sooner.
3/30/2016
There aren't many different after school programs, but there is a variety of sports teams offered which is great. I hope they expand the types of clubs they have at this school. That way, everyone has something that they can enjoy.
