Teachers at this school take the time to know and understand the kids. This is a tough school BUT kids continue to learn and catch up. I understand the scores are low here, but as long as us parents partner with the teachers, we can help our kids have pride in their test scores AND their grades.

My son had Mrs. H for 4th and 5th grade. My son loved her and she cared about his learning. I always felt welcome in her classroom.

My daughter is going on her 3rd year in this school. She had learned so much and her teachers are amazing.

I absolutely love this school. Staff here are super supportive and care a lot about the children. Communication is the best there.

My student is finishing their 2nd year at this school. Unfortunately this was the middle school my student was fed to from Elementary school. The last two years have been horrible!!! The teachers spend so much time attempting to control the huge number of disruptive kids or ignoring them either way my student gets shorted on educational time. A great many of the kids were never taught manors, kids stand up in class and curse at the teachers. Nothing changes. I know middle school is hard but this was insane. If I could go back in time, knowing what I know now, we would have sold the house taken whatever huge hit it would have been to move into a different schools area or one or both would have gotten a second job and sent our student to a private school anything!!
