Teachers are great. They are well organized and explain things well. I learned a lot in this school. They do notebook checks to make sure we are on track and are fair.

Most stalls in the bathrooms don't have doors/soap/paper towel. I never saw my guidance counselor.

I have nothing bad to say about this school. I am a parent of an honor student. The school will not tollerate bullies. The teachers are very communicative to parents. I never had any problem with my son in this school. In conclusion I recommend this school for your child.
