I have my worst time in middle school here, everything sucks, the food were bad and the I am trying to apply to private school and the counselor didn't even do it yet I am lucky I can move away

Amazing school with absolutely phenomenal teachers. There was a huge variety of clubs. The school culture is like what a private school feels like. However, they are very helpful and there are lots of very friendly people.

The school is great! Alot of the school is mainly ruled by the popular kids, and some teachers neglect high scoring students, and love/ give special attention to the more popular kids. Mainly there is discrimination against the LGBTQ+ kids.

3.0 student

It is an okay school, they are kids called popular rich kids and they over rule the school. Teacher show a lot of favoritism and like only certain kids. Only some teachers are okay.
