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.

I'll give it a c because it is healthy...at least I think it is. They've changed everything from milk to the type of nuggets. All of it is rather nasty to taste with the exception of baked potatoes smothered in butter or the regular mashed potatoes. Honestly If you're hungry and you don't want to go to class sick or starving bring something from home. It may be healthy but that doesn't mean it's edible.

Our school hasn't ever had any bomb threats and bullying hasn't been as big a problem in recent years. We've a cop on campus that takes care of any big issues. The nurse comes and goes as needed. Our school is one of the safest places I know of.

Amazing school!!! Staff and administrators take each child’s success to heart and make decisions to help them reach their goals and be prepared for their future. Small system means personal relationships and more attention to detail.

This school is a joke to the American education system, it stands on top of the stereotypes. The quality of the school is already terrible, it can't even be kept clean, Bed bugs, Mice, etc. We, students, talk so bad about this school behind their backs, the way they teach here is shameful. Ever sinc...
