The teachers are amazing and so are the staff. However, there are concerning safety issues and there is no motivation for the studets.

My 8th grade year at this school was extremely exciting. The staff made sure we had the right amount of discipline and fun. We knew what we had to do in order to have events, like pep rallies and fund raisers. It was overall and amazing experience. I'd love to go back and visit.
