I have two boys in 8th grade and 6th grade currently attending and I have no problems with the school. The teachers and administration are prompt when I have concerns and in terms of academics, I am very happy with the content that my boys are learning. Sure the school has some issues, just like any other school with such a large student population but I feel that its worth it based on the environment, academics and school staff.
