Don't get me wrong, I liked going to this school, but I had lots of problems dealing with other students. Staff doesn't do as much to prevent outburst and inappropriate incidents between students. I dealt with a fight with some kid who couldn't learn to drop a situation and it ruined my whole year. Meanwhile, staff would criticize me when I did nothing to spark fights because so many adults knew me as a great and honest kid.

This is a great school, in my opinion. I will be starting the eighth grade soon and I'm excited. This school is an awesome school to go to. It was a little tough for me to adjust to middle school when I started sixth grade. Seventh grade was awesome and now I'm ready for eighth grade. I recommend this school to every middle schooler. The after school programs are great, but I don't know how the sports are since I don't do them. Lunch is alright but it is certainly better than the lunches at elementary schools. It's a great school with great staff. Two thumbs up =D
