My son went here for 7th and 8th grade and we had a pretty good experience. The principal at this time is amazing and he is also a coach for certain sports, so he is an all-hands type of person. They have a pretty good atmosphere; it is a middle school so even if you have some great children obviously some like to push it. It's the age and time these kids start testing boundaries and I believe the school handles it well. There was an incident about a child making threats to my son and the school quickly took charge and they were the ones to contact me that these things were happening, and they quickly involved law enforcement as needed. This shows that they don't take bullying lightly. Sports, the kids are all very tight knit in sports, and their coaches hold them accountable and display great sportsmanship. Teachers will communicate with you and were great teachers.

We moved here with my child in all advance classes and he was unable to get into those same level of classes here due to student capacity being max out for existing students. My student had to enroll in classes he already had taken as an advanced student last year or the year before. Multiple attempts with staff and principal to fix placement failed. This school lacks in educational standards, acknowledgment to properly handle ongoing behavioral issue such as bullying within the school, academic extra curricular clubs, and poor unprofessional leadership in general. Its very disappointing because we had heard great things about this school before moving here. Personally, I also found my husband was acknowledged and responded much better than I was with the same questions as a female. I felt very placated by staff where as my husband received more direct answers.

The administrators lack it themselves so therefore hard to teach to students.

Lack honesty and integrity. It's ironic that a principal of such poor character puts character counts on signage in front of school!

Perception is more important than reality. The school will not effectively investigate bullying because the reult would be they have a problem.
