I am very please with the school school.My son has diabetes and they take care of him like he was at home.The teachers are good, but like i always said if your kid want's to learn he or she is going to do it no matter how good or bad the school is.Parent involvement is very important for the kids,and i know that a lot of parent's work,but we have days off .It only takes 30 minutes of your time to meet your kids teachers,that help me a lot with my kids.

The school is okay based on my childs time there. its just the uniform rule that bothers me. the economy is low and now you have to buy unifroms. and the rul isnt even enforced. they should hire people that can relate to the kids or they will rebel thats what my parenting guid said

this school is ok based on my experience there. i havent had any problems and there have not been alot of fights. i think the school just needs improvement on the people they hire because some just want to do their job and others just want to hang out with the students

This school is a joke. Some staff members are great and really involved but most of them are straight up rude to students here. Campus is filthy but nobody is doing there part to help. Uniforms is just making it worse. only 5 people out of the 30 students in my class really wear it. Every day is drama, drama, drama and the coaches dont seem to care. Another thing about coaches is that they dont care much at all about us wich leads into fights and bullying. Parents I do not recomend this school for your students. As for the staff, you better make changes to this school now

This has been my son's first year at this school and he and I both love it. The music program is wonderful, the principal, teachers and other staff members seem to genuinely care about the students and go out of their way to stay after school for those who need help or further explanation about a subject. There have been fights between some students, along with some unsavory behavior, but that can happen at any school and it is my belief these are isolated incidents that have no bearing on the school, itself. As parents, it is our responsibility to teach our children respect and proper conduct. Whereas it is the school's responsibility to keep our children safe and enforce proper behavior, it is not their burden to make up for ideals some parents have neglected to teach their kids.
