Overall my experience with the school is great because of all the friends and people I interact with on a daily. Something I would like to see change is definitely more involvement with students and parents.

The teachers are all extremely friendly and welcoming. I have enjoyed my time here, even if part of it was distance learning. Easy to navigate campus, some fun events, and compelling band program.

Many kids that attend this school do not receive proper support and home. The student then comes to school to become their problem. If your child keeps their head low, and don’t search for the wrong crowd they will be safe and have successful high school years. There are fights daily on campus that...

My kids love it here, i am so glad i brought them here. i was worried at first because many people were saying it wasn't the best place but i guess my wife was right, don't assume things just because of what people say.

Honestly this school gets dumped on for no reason, although it looks bad and the reviews aren't high this school has improved so much and the people here are so kind.
