Great school in the middle of nowhere. Many creative classes and afterschool activities. I only wish we didn't have to take PARCC test a bit of a waste. I didn't enjoy reading Shakespeare at all but it was shoved down our throats. I felt like class sizes could be a little smaller. Definitely issues with favoritism with teachers.

This school sucks. Never send your kid here unless you want your kid to be bullied and harassed by both students and teachers. Constant fights and racism, homophobia, ableism, mostly from the students. The teachers are rude and make students cry and the consulars don’t do anything to help the studen...

This school sucks. The kids and teachers are horrible and students who get bullied don’t get any help from the consulars, the consulars are basically useless. There’s fights everyday, students are mean. DO NOT send your child to this school EVER. Unless you want your child to feel suicidal.
