This school is a parent's nightmare! My child hates it here and the teachers present a non-caring attitued toward the class. My child never gets told, "Way to go.", "Great job". The teachers sit at their desk on their computer, while the assistant teacher attempts to teach. If I didn't love where we live, we would be out of here!! i don't recommend this school to anyone.

This school is fantastic! The teachers really care about all of their students, and would do anything to prtect them. They have an amazing music program with some of the best musical directors in the entire county. My brother and sister went to this school and have done a great job in CHS (Cherokee High School.) The teachers have done a great job preparing my brother and sister for high school. And they did a very good job preparing me for 8th grade. So yes!! this is <b>the best school everrr</b>!!!!!!!!!!!

This school is not the best place. There were amazing teacher but they wanted to play more than they wanted to teach. I almost failed because one of my teacher's did not teach us, and another one just sat there the whole time, and the teacher and princple didnt do there best a inforcing the school rules.

We pulled our child out of here last year about 1/4 through. Too worried about 'No child left..' statistics and scores. Principal and faculty sadly lethargic.

This school is over populated with not enough individual attention in most areas. The music department however is continuing to get bigger and bigger with wonderful music directors. One of the main reasons this school is over populated is because it feeds the largest surrounding area. It is not an over all bad school but it is not first rate either.
