I am the president of asb in this school, it is a nice school but it challenging to pass, it has little electives but there is still after school clubs.

The school is pretty good, the teachers are approachable, pleasant and seem to enjoy their work and the students are nice kids. I think they need more choice of electives, healthier lunch choices and to ramp up the academic curriculum. Some of those are district problems. The school seems safe and my child really likes being a student at James Workman. Please excuse my mediocre ratings for teacher, principal leadership and parent involvement. I'm only slightly aquainted with my child's teachers as she is an A student and I do not know the principal or involved parents. I don't think the school has even sent out any requests for participation. We used to have our child in private school where parent and principal involvement was a big deal.

This school is pretty nice, my duaghter went here for two years and never had a problem she couldn't work out with a school couselor. The teachers could've communicated better with the parents but she did well in her classes despite the lack of. She felt is was a very safe environment.
