Horrible bullying problem. The school doesn't care. Probably the worst in the state. Lots of racist comments too. You can't walk through the hall without hearing the N-word.

Our children love this school and so do we. The teachers and administration are amazing and really seem to put their hearts into what they do.

Seriously, this school is filled with bullies and, rumor spreaders. The school barely helps when it comes to stopping it, as they tend to make you fill out a complicated point of view every, single, time no matter what happens. They refuse to listen to your side of the story until you fill out the point of view. Even then, they barely help stop the bullying! All they do is give a 2 day in school suspension/out of school suspension. After the punishment is over, they usually start to bully other students. I ended up getting sick a couple of times and throwing up due to the cafeteria food. Teachers will usually fail to protect a student when he/she will get bullied, or picked on. The school is EXTREMELY unorganized, and this results in students pushing others just to get somewhere. I do NOT recommend this school to anyone!

Have had an extremely disappointing year with my oldest in this school. I do not recommend it for parents who are military or are otherwise moving into the district. They are not very willing to work with new kids to integrate them and seem to adopt a strategy of trying to get us to move out of the district as quickly as possible. The administration uses a capricious and fairly arbitrary discipline system and they are extremely quick to use suspension (for instance, for writing a program on a computer when the teacher told the student that he could play on the computer, with no boundaries). It is unfortunate because I believe some of the teachers really do care, it is the unfortunate product of a small-town mindset and a promote-to-level-of-incompetence administration.

There's too many bullies alot of people spread rumors. I hate this school it was the worst experience for me ever i couldn't concentrate in class because of everyone. I had to switch back to the ck district because of this school. This wasn't a good experience. The office never helped with any of the problems...

Both my kids have had a fairly challenging education at the MIddle School taking math a year ahead and the AGATE Block. (Though my child is in AGATE (gifted), I'd really rather an honors program for all kids who want a more rigorous program rather than the class just for those that make the testing cutoff.) Band is excellent, and most of the science math teachers are good too . Make sure your child has teachers with the teaching style that works best for your child and get involved with the school and the PTA. I Love the newly adopted math book. I know this sounds odd, but I WISH they'd offer more consistent keyboarding. In this world of computers, without adequate keyboarding, they develop poor skills early on and never learn to type correctly. Budget cuts are miserable. Leadership is okay--I feel they could be encouraging more risk-taking by the staff and parental involvement. Socially, these were actually the best years for my kids as there are so many more friends to meet, and they found the school to be a safe environment.

Lol, it says this site won't post names of teachers, etc. But I have seen several already! I am not sure how to rate this school as my children are not attending yet. I am expecting great things tho.
