Academics are good. Athletics is the probably the worst I've ever seen. There are no new innovative programs compared to surrounding schools.

My son was bullied and threatened by another student, which resulted in a fight, which was started by the student who bullied my son. after finding the school didn't take any action. The principal started character assassinationat of my son, even we had all the proof of bullying and threats
