My experience at this school was terrible. The favoritism is bad and the bullying is bad too. The teachers favoritism the kids that have pto parents and there was some teachers that rlly do not teach well here. The kids are very mean They would fight each other and call others names, and even i was being called names from the (popular kids) plus the principle is not even good. And when we graduated there was a slide show that had repetitive pictures of the pto parents kids. And didnt let any other parnets know abt the slideshow nor let them send photos or use photos of them in the year book/slide show. Plus theres one of the special education teachers that should be fired bc they were yelling at autistic kids that werent even doing anything bad. if you dont want your kid getting bullied and want them to actually be taught well I would DEFINITELY not recommend this school and even the town sucks rlly.

We moved to Preston August 2010, we have a son who started Middle School here and he loves it. He struggled the first few months with the curriculum coming from a school district that wasn't as good. The teachers were very understanding of that fact and have helped him get up to pace with his peers. The principal has been awesome too. The best thing is the atmosphere, no bullying, which my son endured for 3 years in our old school district. The parents and children have all been very welcoming and friendly making it a good transition for my son.
