I was a student at this school and it is absolutely horrendous. Do not send your kids to this school or they will end up becoming fake gangsters and get involved in all kinds of trouble and fights and just become an overall bad person because I was at this school 6-8 grade and all of the students we...

If you can, don’t send your children to this school. This middle school has some good teachers but the curriculum doesn’t prepare students for high school.

This is a really bad school. Admin does nothing to help if you are getting bullied, harassed, etc unless you get a parent involved. They have no time to fix girls bathroom sinks and only 1 works. If a student is struggling all they do is yell at them. I would not recommend this school for anyone.
