The school is hit or miss when it comes to teachers and education. The lower grades seem to have some great staff. The upper grades can be a complete mess. It was painful listening online to the disrespect the students had for the teacher even when they were in class. They could use some education and restructuring themselves.

You should choose this school! It rocks and i love it here! We learn SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. We come home evryday and tell our parents EVERYTHING we learned!!!! Art, music, gym, library, and computer are all reminders that we LOVE this school, the teachers can be stricted but that just means that we have to work harder because unlike most of the schools we WORK.
