Joseph Green and Sarah Smith(principal and associate principal)condone bullying and retaliation by teachers on students. Once you say something twice they get mad, refuse to return phone calls or emails, and if you go to the district office they blame the kid becase they are scared silent of the teachers union. Complete and utter failures and cowards as administrators. It's the band teacher who is the bully. 5 phone calls later 5 incidents by the teacher later, it is now the child's fault.

Few months into the school year and my 12 year old granddaughter gets jumped and beat by a bunch of girls. All over a girl on the basketball team not liking the way the ball was passed to her. My granddaughter got expelled for a day for getting beat, the girls who beat her expelled 2 days. The girl who instigated it all is still on basketball team no punishment at all. What kind of school is this. Don't send your child to this school! Very disturbing watching the video of her getting beat down. She quit basketball because of this. Terrible school.
