Shocking how good this school is. Anybody that has been to a hard-nosed school in a tough luck community would know that this is neither. Fantastic school, fantastic teachers that care.

Excelente equipo de trabajo y servicios, tanto para los padres como para los estudiantes, cuando uno llama y deja un mensaje en el teléfono ellos devuelven las llamadas.

The school is very unorganized. Principal Sciacca has no clue as to what takes place in her school. My son's 504 plan was violated and not followed through. Tried to inform the superintendent and he's just as bad. So you know the saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The incompetence that is displayed is outright unbelievable!!!!

As a graduated student from this school, I am beyond thankful for what the staff here has done for me. The teachers are excellent and are always available for extra help if needed, and they greatly care about each and every student. There is little bullying, and the staff does an excellent job at keeping the students here under control. There are many amazing sources available that all students may use, and great opportunities available. I would not want to spend my middle school years anywhere else. I have countless great memories and now as a high school student, can easily say that this school did everything possible to prepare me for high school.

On the first day of school, this school tried to violate my daughter's 1st amendment rights. They stated that her pink hair was a distraction in the learning process. They are actually hindering the learning process, as they will not place my daughter in the appropriate classes. Her previous school is not yet in session, therefore they have yet to receive her standardized scores. It is extremely bothering to me that they have her repeating the same classes she took last year. The 8th grade guidance counselor has been extremely rude about the situation even calling both myself and her previous school liars. I wish there was another alternative for a middle school in our district! I feel bad for any child attending this school or parent sending their child into a school with such un-supportive administration and faculty.
