this school gave me ligma. I did not enjoy my time here and was very sad. The teachers are very mean and too preoccupied with themselves to help students. The teachers do not care about students at all. Administration is even worse.

This school is some competitive in.... Only a couple of the staff members seem to care; the rest are just in it to make the school look good with "good" ratings.

My son was bullied daily and teachers, principal and guidance counselor’s looked the other way. Apparently being a single mom that worked as a nurse was viewed as trashy. Great midwestern values!

Horrible place, I came with a passion to try and make the best out of my middle school life, instead I got bullying, a horrible experience, and a realization that this school just ruined my entire life, never go here ever.
