Terrible school. Teachers don't know about the subject they are teaching. The school is not clean at all. A student spilled yogurt in a classroom in may, and it wasn't cleaned up until the following school year.

I have two kids in this system for 3 years now. They are learning and thriving there. They benefit from the tight knit community of teachers, parents, and administrators who care and are striving to improve each year.
