This school is great. The teachers help the students out a lot. They also joke around with the students so school isn't always boring. There are gang things around, but not very much.

I find the prior reviews to be on the contrary to my family's experience. The threat of gangs and violence can occur in any school and any place for that matter. I've found the staff and administrators to be helpful, understanding and professional not only towards the parents but also the children. This is a middle school, we as parents can't expect the teachers to watch every child every second of every mintue during classes or in between. Our middle school aged children should be responsible and mature enough to distinct 'good' from the 'bad' crowds and it's up to the parents to educate their children on the correct decorum for school. Don't put blame upon the adminstrators of any school but place it where it belongs. Academically our children are provided with all the tools to succeed. It's up to us to encourage our children to utilize those tools.

This school is cool but it does have alot of fights and it has alot gang problems. My mom wanrs me in a good school but what other school can I go to ? There's even a kid walking around the halls with a gang sign on his head. The principals don't even do anything about it. Most of my friends think it's a horrible school.

I LOVE school but ever since I've been going to this one i've hated going. The students always make fun of people, and when teachers do hear it they dont do anyhting about it. There is very poor disiplin and I even feel unsafe there. Students get into fights all the time, and teachers dont even notice it until someone's hurt or bleeding. Me and my brother both agree that this is the worst school we have ever been to.

This school is academic warning! This school has gang problems and our children are unsafe! This school has fallen apart since we got this new principal and the school board won't do anything about the parents concerns regarding this school.
