Has strong leadership, academic programs and off site opportunities are great. Parent group is a bit of a clique. Misinformed staff, regarding student placement, communication with students, classroom gossip and comparison. My child has been asked if he has any common sense at all, by one of his teachers. Told that a teacher hates his class and would rather teach another (teacher said this to a whole classroom). Students are aloud to make racial comments/jokes with no accountability whatsoever. All in all school is safe, good location, has great parent involvement and a competitive academic programs. I am disappointed by the insensitivity of staff and students regarding race and hurtful comments. I do commend the quick response to my reporting of student on student bullying, the issue was resolved within days, and was taken seriously by principal and her assistant. There are many amazing teachers here, but a few could use some redirection. Our kids deserve respect, as much teachers do. Respect begets Respect.
