I cant believe it. After three fights between kids, the principal comes out talking about how great the school is while theres a child bleeding. Its absolutely unacceptable. Where is the safety and the responsibility to protect the students?

Great for the most part..with the exception of communications between departments and also favoritism in sports/athletics department for males over females. Hence "The Water Polo!"

The staff cares and administration is outstanding. While this school is new, it is creating outstanding traditions with a mix of both veteran and new teachers. Want your student to get involved? This is the place! As far as the review below... do you really rate a school so low because of ONE teacher? Sounds suspicious to me.

I drive 28 miles one way for my children to come to this school. They are more relaxed and not fearful in their surrounding. Therefore their concentration and work ethics are better than ever. They both receive good grades and i fieel blessed. The overall of the school is excellent.

I wrote the earlier review about my daughter liking the school. We are not very happy at all now and have left the school. One teacher specifically is the cause. Hope you don't have to encounter her while you're there!
