The school has basic procedures to ensure the safety of the students. There are random anonymous searches monthly, and there is lock on all doors with only access being through the front during the day.

I mean im pretty sure it was an averge middle school, the students in the area were nice and i could make friends, the use of technology was minimal, and i had a few teachers quit or do the bare minimum and get fired. The test scores were okay and the spirits were high. There were many clubs for students in the gifted program. The sports team was the best in the area. I would totally pick this school again.
