This school performs beautifully well at everything it does! Homework isn't too stormy most of the time, the lessons are engaging and educating, character development exists and it's strong, leadership skills are taught and applied well, students with vast differences from most other kids can learn just as well as a normal kid, and bullying isn't an issue because it is taken incredibly seriously here. It was a shame I was forced to move from here to Glacier Middle School, which is an OK school, but might need improvement.

Great School and staff with the exception of the Stem Expo teacher. The music program is 2nd to none and Id highly recommend getting your child in band.
