the safety is really bad they leave the doors unlocked also the fairness between the boys and the girls school is really bad too if the girls are in the gym the boys aren't allowed to go in the gym they have to go back outside or go back into the classroom and when the girls go into the gym and the boys are already in there the boys have to leave and sometimes the teachers be having really bad attitudes.

En lo personal, me gusta esta escuela y como le enseñan a mi hijo, el ha aprendido mucho y recibe respuesta a todas sus preguntas. Además que esta en deportes y siempre sobresale en eso por que los coaches siempre son muy buenos.

I love this school because its small, and the staff truly know and care about each student as an individual, not just a number.

Mrs. Flores is truly a wonderful person. She consistently goes above and beyond for both her students and their families. Anytime my children are absent, she reaches outnot just to inform, but to make sure theyre okay. That kind of care means so much. Shes incredibly compassionate and always follows through on her wordif she says shell call you back, she absolutely will. Every time I walk into the building, she greets me with a warm smile that makes me feel genuinely welcome. Even if she doesnt have the answer right away, shell go out of her way to find it. Her dedication and kindness do not go unnoticed, and Im so grateful for all that she does.

En general me gusta la escuela, El que lleven uniformed, las instalaciones son buenas pero el curriculum puede mejorar mucho, también sería excelente que ofrecieran tutoring para los alumnis que necesiten y que trabajen en no cambiar tanto a los maestros, por alguna razón se van y esa inestabilidad no es Buena para los estudiantes. Los maestros que están y el personal en la oficina se esfuerzan mucho y son muy amables.
