I am a student and I am not pleased with this school. The teachers are good but not with much experience and they don't give to much help . Friends? Was hard to make friends, I kindle get bullied but finally in a year I make good friends. Well in this school I have good times and bad times.

This school offers many great classes and people are friendly to newcomers. Our family moved here three years ago and everyone has been very helpful and friendly. My daughter comes home excited to do her geometry homework and talking about how awesome her math teacher is. The only real problem seems to be that there is no enforcement of school rules. I heard from my daughter that teachers don't really enforce school rules, such as the dress code or apropriate language for school. The one other issue is that her bus is a bit unreliable, her bus driver is sometimes late, one day the bus was 20 minutes late. Otherwise the school is a great place for my daughter and she is earning good grades and loving going ot school.

Ridiculous. The school has changed so much. Kids are so friendly. Teachers are great. Im in french right now, and I have learned more than I have ever learned before! I have all great teachers, and there are only a couple who need some help.

Some things about this school were great while others were not so. There were a lot of amazingly dedicated teachers that I loved and have helped me get to where I am today. They were always there when a student needed extra help. However, many of the other teachers were just awful. I remember a teacher whose idea of English was just giving us vocabulary words to memorize and we didn't do much reading or writing. One of the foreign language teachers taught us the language so poorly that when I visited a country where it was the native language, I discovered that this teacher had been teaching us slang and not the real words. But still other teachers were amazingly dedicated and always willing to help when it was needed, and I'll remember those teachers for the rest of my life. -c-

Amazing School! My son, Jacob Ibghi is a seventh grader there and I absolutely appreciate the amazing things they teach, the curriculum, the lunch prices and what they eat at lunch and much more. This is the best school I can think of and in fact I even went here whe I was in Middle School. Amazing school, period.
