We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, this is a great school. The staff is very welcoming and the teachers are pleasant and try their hardest to ensure that all of their students are successful. Facilities and resources could use some improvement, but the culture of the school and the community are what every student needs to be surrounded by in order to do well in life.

This is the most poorly run school I have seen in a long time. Middle school students are out of control and the principal and assistant principal do nothing about it. I am afraid for the safety of the children and staff.
