This school is full of dedicated staff and students. Parent involvement is somewhat low, but is on the rise because of school-wide efforts to increase community involvement. According to the most recent data, the school earned a "B" on the state report card and is currently the 2nd highest rated middle school in the district. Yes, there is the occasional fight. It's a middle school, full of hormonal children. There are not, however, 'too many fights,' and if teachers think students are 'slacking off,' then those teachers need to reach out to the families of the students and the other teachers in the building for ways to fix that issue.

My son is currently attending here and were fixing to move. He usually complains that he has a bad day. And he was bullied twice here but the teachers took care of it. He says that he heard 3 teachers cuss. And most of them say "shut up". When I was in school I never heard a teacher say that. I don't know where we are moving and I don't know if he's still going here. Maybe try Carl Albert?

Too many fights go on not enough learning. Many kids think they are too cool for school and slack off.

This is a great school. It is full of caring and dedicated teachers. My child has learned, not only academics, but has learned life skills and respect for himself and others. The counselors are amazing. They are involved and know their students. They are not just there for grades and scheduling, they are there for students. I love this school and you will too!
