I'm still going to this school and it's interesting I think the school has a lot to improve on and have more opportunities for certain things and they have a massive renovation on the school building. There was a fire at the school a couple of months ago I will never forget it wasn't huge but there was a lack of information until I had already left the school as it happened at the end of the day. It's just an okay school.

This school needs to be shut down. Keep your kids far away i had to deal with some much crap at this school especially when my grandkid had to fight back basically the whole school cause if one person dont like you they all dont like you and make your grandkid life a living hell so dont trust this school and the school district is worthless also trust and believe me.

4-stars for programs and teacher staff, but 1-star for discipline and student bullying.
