So far an awful experience they never help kids with bullying and finding ways to stop it. They just shrug it off. I have been harassed by this one kid and I told the teacher and she even saw it happen and she did nothing to stop it. I have been called fat and ugly, and they never do anything to stop it. Many of the people have mental illnesses in this school and I don't think they understand that.

Over all a good school. Principle is awesome. Most the teachers are good. Band program is great. 6th and 7th grade VP is horrible. If you ever have a issue do not go to her. Go straight to the principle. If your child is bullied. All she will do is blame your child. Tries her hardest to make life hard for you and your child. Her ego gets in the way of doing any good.
