I dont recommend anybody to go here, majority of staff is rude. And the school is money hungry. SOME Teachers are nice and want you to learn. And for the people that can't handle an obnoxious and loud rally, they push you to the side. I personally had an experience at a loud rally (microphone loud in the gym with hundreds of children screaming all around you) where I wanted too leave but got told to go back inside of the gym because nobody was out to watch me. But a nice woman stayed out because she couldn't handle it too. And they only then allowed me outside. --thank you sweet woman.
(Strange how the school couldnt handle to compensate for students for having a difficult time)

The teachers are rude. The staff doesn't respond and no one was accommodating to a new transfer student. In comparison to the school district we transferred from I would give this school less than 1 star.
