As a kid I had felt like they could be a bit strict at times, but now that I am older I see that they have the students' best interests in mind. They are very approachable and manage to get things done that need to be done.

I really cannot complain about my time at this school. I really only had one teacher that I was not particularly fond of, but even then I still managed to enjoy the year. Teachers, staff, and students were all very friendly and approachable.
