We were having issues with a particular teacher and Mr Harrison went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was taken care of and happy. The end result is exactly what we were hoping to achieve, and HE made sure it happened. There's been numerous issues with upperclassmen kids bullying eachother...

The teachers at this school might be great, but they're not worth putting up with the principal. I've never seen such an unfair and unkind educator.

This school is decent aside from the extremely crooked and vindictive principal. I can assure you that if there is any good in this man, I sure haven't seen it.

The principle is heartless in this school and holds personal vendettas against certain kids. He likes to punish kids without proof and allows other kids to harass kids with disabilities. He also allows teachers to write up students for there disability.
