This school is great at the most but it has a few bad days... In a class downstairs by the door to go outside, it's so loud kids are always screaming or laughing super loud and it makes everyone look up from what they are doing. Their food is okay it's not the best but it is good. On a good day, kids are normally quiet but then again it's middle schooler students. Also by the same classroom, there was a kid that started hitting and banging on a door and it was super loud I actually thought the door was going to break but it didn't thankfully. Some of the kids there are really annoying and they always talk about really dumb stuff. Anyways I rate this school 4 stars.

I was excited for this school in the beginning, it was my first year of middle school and I thought it would be great!

I was wrong.

The teachers have no passion when they're teaching and the kids don't want to learn.
Whenever we're in LA, their is constant screaming from kids down the hall as if they're getting murdered. Yeah, not looking forward to him as a teacher next year.
I get bad grades often because I figure out things in my own way. I didn't realize I had to do it a certain way on the beginning and that was how I got my first F.
As for the technology, it's constantly going out and very laggy. The teachers have no idea how to use it and often we've wasted half the period because the teacher couldn't figure out how to start the test.

Yes, very irritating.

Lunch wise, it's expensive and the quality just goes down the farther you get into the year. It starts out great, and then its to the point where is fish sticks inside a taco shell with lunch lady hair on the side...

My rating is 2/5....don't switch your kids here parents. You'll regret it.

This school... it's torture. Most of the teachers there are pretty terrible, with the occasional decent one here and there. My experience there as a student doesn's bias me from it, this is the cold hard truth, and many of the teachers are just... eh? Others are great (Mr. Bletscher needs more credit, imo), and others are awful or have no idea what they're teaching. The technology is mostly so bad that some of the teachers are unable to use it for days at a time, or some of it is just... buggy, glitchy, or just plain broken. The food is okay, but it's a little too expensive. Maybe lower prices some and it'll be okay! :) The cirriculum of the district is just... meh. The quality of the stuff taught is far outweighed by the quantity, and for those who dislike lectures in Geometry class 1st Period (me), it's nearly unbearable. But, most of it is just slightly too rushed for a lot of people to grasp. Slow it down a bit, maybe an extra day couldn't hurt us! Overall, this school gets a 2/5.
