I felt this principal was not fair to others that were not of her nationality.

I went to drop off some flowers and balloons for valentiens day to my daughter since she's been doing great at school. But the principal Cheryl Bloom was rude and unprofessional and didn't let me drop them of. I work 16 hours a day and had a 1 hour window to drop off and show moral support as any great parent would do for our kids made me feel like it was a crime to show my daughter love especially on valentines day

I attended years 1972-1975. They were my favorite school years! The teachers were responsible to their students, with just one exception, an algebra teacher who was horrible.

I do not think they care about the student. I think they are only there to collect a check.

I took my son out of this horrible school the first chance I got. Awful environment, arrogant teachers, non-stop bullying, low quality curriculum, teachers don't care whether the student learns anything or not, they target one child, and no matter if the child is at fault or not, they still single him out, and much more. I would say, so far, it is the worst school I ever knew. Bad school. No etiquette, no respect. Disgusting and sick and negative environment. Your child will get out of this school psychologically damaged and with such low esteem.

I graduated from here back in 2009 and I wish I could go back every single day I absolutely loved it here. I got a great education, took honor classes with some of the most amazing teachers I've met. Now that I'm in college I still use some of the skills I learned back in middle school. Great staff, friendly and helpful teachers Not to mention a beautiful campus. - I will always be a bulldog
