Kids got in fights all the time and so obviously we should deprive them of learning. Suspensions are awful punishments.

It was probably only bad because middle school is bad.

Obviously I learned enough to succeed in high school. I'm not sure what more I should say. There were advanced classes, but the kids who were put in them seemed arbitrarily assigned and weren't always very good in the classes, but some of us were and we mostly attended Central Academy in eighth grade and high school.

Whenever I used to attend this school, it was fun but all the teachers left and it became bad

My first child went here and it wasn't too bad. 4 years later 90% of the teachers had left and been replaced due to poor leadership from the principal and it definitely shows. Hard to have a great school when it is overcrowded and the teachers won't stay.

The leadership at this school is absolutely horrible The Principle needs to resign or be replaced. Avoid this school at all costs.
