The school is kind of rotting, we have "bucket season" (iykyk), some teachers are pretty rude, but there are some really amazing teachers there.

This school doesn't even deserve 1 Star, it deserves nothing, this school is terrible, kids are fake and toxic, so does most of the teachers. This isn't even a school it's literally jail, last year I was in basic math and my home room teacher treats me badly bc of this. Just stay away from this school you will thank me for it. Also be careful of all the teachers and students that goes to park forest. (fun fact a kid got in trouble last year bc she peed on the play ground during recess)

School Administration did the best they could to keep all of the students safe. The only rule that wasn't enforced too often was the dress code. The only time they enforce the dress code was when there was something offensive on a person's shirt.

Even in 8th grade, the teachers expect very little in terms of analysis and synthesis of information. There is limited writing in all of the classes and teacher expecta...

This is such a great school. My son completely changed upon starting middle school here. Elementary school was a struggle with lack of motivation and trouble learning/retaining content. Though he has always been a kind and responsible person, something about starting here fresh has brought about suc...
