This is most likely the worst school i've ever been to. I was there last year, and i recently left. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE MAGNET PROGRAM. The 'mainstream' kids are HORRIBLE. They will only harass you. There are also SO MANY FIGHTS here. They do nothing about bullying either. The teachers are also horrible. I'm glad i left. I maybe only made 2 friends last year. Horrible experience, I don't recommend this school to anyone. The only thing that I enjoyed about this school was the band, the counselors, and most of my teachers (in the academy). Please send your child to a different school than this one. I know it might look like a good school, but that doesn't really matter when it comes to socializing and academics.

Wow. I didn’t think cultures like this existed within schools anymore. I used to teach middle school and would have done anything to be surrounded by these professionals. What a group…dedicated to their craft with student growth at the forefront and the culture in place to realize those goals. I really can’t say enough.

The Academy has been a very positive experience for my 6th grader. The academic teachers and coursework are very good and challenging without being overwhelming. The The language arts curriculum/teaching does not seem very strong compared to the other courses. Band is the exception to this review. The teacher is very disorganized and often disrespectful to students. Also, does NOT allow students personal choice of instruments, but assigns what she deems necessary. I rate that class a 2 star at best.
