Wow, I thought I was the only one...both my wife and daughter (who was a senior at the school) were treated beyond rude by both teachers and admin...thankful to be gone from it forever, younger son will not step foot in there...homeschool before that.

Have to agree-administration is incompetent, generally unhelpful and downright rude at times. Do not recommend. (this was for 2010-11 school year)

I have had great difficulty with the administration. Only a few quality teachers. Switched my child to Aldo Leopold school.

I've noticed this as well...coming from out of state-standards are pretty low, many personnel are rude
