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.

The academic system was improved after my time there, but from what I know there isn't much room for growth. The support was low, and teachers were good at educating but there were poor levels of connection. There is really no cooperation between the students and staff, and it's rare the staff acts on reported problems or incidents. It's a nice middle school as far as they go, but isn't very fostering so students need a strong out-of-school support system.

It was horrible staff could not care less about there jobs and could not be more useless. Principles don’t do anything about anything and just let everything happen. You will learn literally nothing because the teachers don’t teach because they don’t feel like it because the principal doesn’t do his...
