The good news is they redid the school. Academically it's kind of sad. I moved into this school district in fifth grade and didn't learn anything new in math until halfway through seventh grade. The best part of the school is definitely their foreign language program. It's centered well for the age group and if kids actually engage they can learn a ton.

All students can find a sport or activity to get involved in that they will enjoy and be able to make friends. Teachers are very helpful and supportive and care about students.

Administration is fair but sometimes does not catch on to some of the things going on unless it is personally brought up to them, then they will do anything they can to help. There is security that is always available as well around the school.
