We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoyed the teachers and the variety of classes available. The only thing I did not like was the time periods we had to go from class to class. Sometimes it was not enough time.

Most of the teachers are the best around, every now and then there is one that doesn't care.

I had my children attend & now my grandchild have attended. It has significantly gone down hill since my children were enrolled. Granddaughter recently left the school district because they let bullying go on until there ends up being violence between students.
