All I can say is that if you have an above-average child, you will probably love this school. However, if your child is average or below average and needs extra help, you will likely face many problems and have a very difficult experience here. The principal is the worst weve had since my kids started attending, and now shes being promoted to superintendent. This school used to be amazing before she ruined it.

My son with Aspergers started a class here through the BASSC program. It was a small class for other children with Asperger's and his teacher Mr. Buckrod was the BEST!!!! My son came so far in his class and he had for 3 years before we had to PCS. My son and I loved his teacher and to this day we both still miss him greatly.
