You know...this is my OG school. Im gonna love it. But I'ma also be real, some of the teachers and ehem...assistant principals single out students and pick them out of the crew for a while. Like, you get in trouble once and your getting suspended for existing. I really like the teachers though, I have a lot of trusted adults to talk to here and they help me. The mental health stuff isn't all that great but, I still love this school. The kids are mean I will admit. There are a lot of influenced kids and they don't do much good. Overall, I like it.Oh yeah and the bathroom is haunted.

My daughter has been singled out by staff at omms. They don't help her with her mental health and emotions. They just suspend her instead. My daughter had no problems last year. And can't seem to stay out of trouble with the new principal this year.

Im an 8th grader at this school and this is the best school(in my opinion) in GJ. Mr. Swanson is the best band teacher ever and Mr. Bavor is the best math teacher. I would definitely recommend the school to others because the teacher help with your homework you can come in at 12 after school or before school if you need extra help and teachers actually care about you they don't just get another student.

Pretty good over all. Most teachers are really helpful and know what they're doing. The problem, however, isn't the teachers or the teaching. Its more of the students and the lack of discipline. There were quite a few bullies. I got in trouble once for being late for school while other kids did drugs next store in the park.

I went to seventh and eighth grade at this school, and am now in the tenth. I used to go to Mount Garfield Middle School, and I didn't want to go to the school at first, but as I got to know everyone, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I was in band, and Mr. Swanson was THE BEST band teacher ever. The teachers are wonderful, and it was a great experience. Wonderful school! I definitely recommend it!
