We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school is wonderful. My son went for 2 yrs. Never any problems. Staff & principal were all wonderful. Middle School is what you make of it. You have a good kid that stays out of trouble, then they will do fine here!
