There were physical fights between children on school property very often( at least once a week) with little consequence. I often felt children were left unattended which opened many opportunities for bullying. We did however have many drills and a school officer.

I never hard of sports and I was never asked to join a sport. The equipment and gym was poor so we tended to use the public park during gym. No one really had school spirit.

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.
