"Great Schools.org" is a terrible and biased formula/site. My daughters attended this school, took advantage of all the great opportunities and exceled! A few disgruntled parents and students bring the rating down unfairly.

My son liked this school until gym. He is being bullied and its almost impossible to get him to go and it breaks my heart. I have been up there and talked to the principle and still nothing has changed!! Ill be glad to get him out of this district once and for all. Gym is 3 classes put together way too many kids!!!!!!!!!!

I have had several issues w/ bullying at my son's school. Kids run into class rooms & aren't supposed to be there just to hit another student. Let's see my son has been cussed out twice & hit in the gut & physically & verbally threatened. One teacher refused to believe me when my son & I told her kids where fighting in the class room when she was out in the hall way. The teachers are more likely to give detention for forgetting a pencil & just a warning for slapping another kid or shoving them against the locker. The staff is incompetent & the kids are still out of control. 8 years ago reviews were bad. 6 years ago with only one good review. Pe classes are totally unstructured. Just because a school has a newer design & computers does not make the kids nicer or smarter. Teachers & principals need to be retrained.
