My daughter is excelling in math, science, and language arts while enjoying/performing well in social studies. She loves being involved in student activities and running cross country with a highly competitive and strong team. The teachers are encouraging and work to ensure the students are motivated and engaged in their learning.

This school is part of the elitist community of Jackson Twp. If you have money, your child will fair very well. You will be catered and kowtowed. Teachers, activities and resources are the best there is to offer for the wealthy who expect the best out of the public schools they enroll their children in. I would love to see the same opportunities afforded to the much deserved underprivileged high achievers who work just as hard (if not more) than those who have opportunities handed to them in a nice purple & gold basket. Children from lower class/income fall through the cracks of the social cliques and have no chance at lead roles here. These are reserved for the children of the elite. It can certainly be noted that a privileged child who has mediocre academic prowess will be afforded help and resources to succeed because they are from a privileged background. Credit can be given to teachers who will at least do all to prevent a lower class student from embarrassing the district with subpar testing scores. But they will certainly not be singled out and built up by mere basic merit. Bottom line: Excellent school for the rich. If you know how to play the game, your child will succeed.

This school is located in an upscale neighborhood. This school gives your children opportunities that are not offered by many other schools (academic , art and sport). The schools, library and YMCA are within walking distance of one another. The students are very "clicky" and unfortunately, some of the teachers are, also. The weaker teachers will join in with the "popular" students to humiliate the other students. If your student is not self-confident, they may be bullied by students and staff alike. If your student has self confidence, then you probably won't find a better school. They do have several teachers that are amazing and they go above and beyond to help your children obtain the most out of their school years. The facilities are top notch. Everything is carefully thought out and well-organized. I think the good far outweighs the bad.
