This school has an entire student body of amazing people. The teachers that are there are fabulous and their only goal is to help you suceed. There are lessons and activites that you will never bore from. There are also activities you can do before and after school. The principle, vice principle, and the dean of students expect nothing but the best and expectations are always met. Don't listen to the other kids complain. This middle school is the best choice!

I am a student here. I hate it. You learn nothing and the punishments for being late are ridiculous. At one point, I was late 1 time and The Dean of Students, (who I know have a burning hatred for) gave me 5 lunch detentions, which means I have to go to the "in school suspension" room for the lunch period. I hate eating in there. I'm still here at this school and I have a lunch detention every day now. Wrong school to go to.

The people here aren't nice... they have bad attitudes and the school system isn't the best.
