This school does not take bullying seriously. No punishment for bullys as long as they say they are sorry. Then they can continue being bullys. Teachers seem to be ok according to my child but the admin staff could use some training if they are naive enough to believe that the kids are not smart enough to tell them what they want to here just to avoid punishment. Agreed that this school is cliquish and full of snotty wannabes from a disney high school movie. This atmosphere makes learning very difficult.

Of all the problems this school has, the administration has got to be the absolute worst of them. They're rude, have absolutely no consideration for the kids and treat all the kids like they're convicts. The teachers are no better. Screaming at the top of their lungs and embarrassing kids in front of their peers over the stupidest and most pointless of things! Something has got to be done about it!

I went to this school for one year from 2008-2009. I'm not going to lie, I liked going there and they do an incredible job on keeping the campus in good shape. However, there's still a TON of room for improvement here. This school is EXTREMELY cliquish and full of gossipy kids. The administraion does a terrible job looking into incidents and just suspends anyone involved without even getting the full story first. And the teacher think that just because it was a blue ribbon school before, the student's lives are perfect and carefree so they treat kids like 1st graders which just makes the kids frustrated and angry. This school has fights, drugs etc... just like every other school. This place is fun but not a good place to send a kid if you want them to get a great education and grow more mature as a person. Wouldn't recommend.

There are multiple extracurricular activities including Spanish and German, Orchestra and Band, Art, Work Shop, Athletics, Communication, Job Finding, and others. Students are allowed to participate in sports like Football (for boys), Volleyball (for guys), Basketball, Track and Field, and Tennis. The level of parent involvement is very high.
