This is not a regular middle school with the stuff at the office acting like they work at a detention center and making impossible the open door policy for parents to meet and great the people that are supposed to be helping your kids in the most difficult transition from elementary to high school and worse to all you'll be lucky if they can answer any questions on there class schedule seems to me like nobody cares if you are concern about your kids education. So sad to have to deal with mediocre stuff like this.

Unless your child is white this school does nothing for them except constantly harass them

Due to his disability he was not able to articulate to me the s...
