I have 2 children that currently attend here. The music program is amazing. Mr Pagonia is a treasure to the school. The school offers advanced classes and opportunities.

Although the state scores this school at an F, I love it. My children have all performed above grade level there. Many of their classmates are poor and are rarely exposed to anything educational at home and that is not the fault of the teachers. Schools are only a reflection of the culture around it. Keep up the great growth Bulldogs!

The school performs so low I wish I had purchased my home somewhere else. The last time I checked it was in the lower 60th percentile in the state.
