I went to this school during my 5th and 6th grade years and liked it quite a bit. it was school with nice teachers and Friendly students. However they do have a rather strict dress code with and uniform policy. I personally liked to dye my hair over the summer and my first year there I was pulled aside by the librarian and she dress coded me for the left over dye and told me to get rid of it. Other then that it was an enjoyful time for me.

There's no room for middle school. And if i could rate this school a zero on how they handle bullying, I...
