Mr. Millspaugh is implementing a variety of phenomenal programs to address student needs and help students succeed. The school has a health clinic with a doctor on-staff to immediately help students who become sick or injured, in addition to the school nurse. Mr. Millspaugh provides a very supportive environment for teachers, enabling them to help students make greater progress. The teachers are always learning how to improve their instruction, differentiating to each of their students' needs, and going above and beyond to support students. As a majority of students are English language learners, test scores are low because students need to learn English first. However, the teachers and administration are determined to provide rigorous instruction to help students become college and career ready.

Principal created an extremely hostile work environment, and was very unfair. Most of the staff just kind of does what she says. It's sort of a mean-girl/clique mentality and very petty. She's a bully, and I wouldn't wish this school on my worst enemy. Terrible experience with unprofessional staff!
