4.0 Middle School Student

2/21/2020

This school is a good school for kids. I just don't like how my friends, tell me about all these fights that they have. It would be a five-star school only if the kids/students there would have better control of themselves. I would really recommend this school for other students. A feel like a little bit more can be improved but, so far this school is great to go to.

I went to this school, and they would blame many students for things that they never did. Also, they are very careless when it comes to protecting the students.
