this school is just laughable. bullying was such a significant issue when i went here. some teachers were amazing and knew the material and how to make class engaging. others couldn’t reach at all, would teach false information, made lectures very confusing, and didn’t know how to properly talk to students. the administration is a huge joke. when i confided in them about my bullying, i was told parents would be involved and would be called. not a single phone call was made and the issue was shoved under the rug. no punishments were enforced either. the school prioritizes new chromebooks annually for every single grade (K-8) rather than the mental stability and wellness of the students. when the school had a dangerous threat, kids were sobbing their eyes out and were terrified of what would happen. administration did not allow a single student to go home. instead, they held an assembly while preaching that we were one small family. not to mention, there is literally no air conditioning except for the principal’s office. during warmer weather, classrooms can get INCREDIBLY humid. this school also CONSTANTLY cuts the budget for any art and music programs. with barely any clubs, and one sport available at this school, it’s mediocre at best. unless you hate your child, i’d steer clear of this school. it’s not worth the constant anxiety, panic attacks, and depression i had throughout my 8 years of attending

I had a terrible experience during my time at the school. Some of the teachers were nice, the environment was not however. Bullying was a huge problem and the school did nothing about it. Budget was spent on buying chromebooks instead of giving teacher proper salaries and health benefits. No classrooms had air conditioning during the summer. Do not bring your kids here.

It has a private school quality and class sizes in a public school. Everyone I have encountered genuinely cares for the children. It’s not just a paycheck to them.

My daughter has been going here since pre-k and the teachers staff and principal are absolutely amazing. I love the school district

The teachers are mostly okay. However there's that one teacher that pushes wayy to hard. She expects students to ace tests and quizzes when she herself is not doing her job correctly in accually teaching the students and not just rushing through topics to just get her job barely done. Unlike other teachers this one does no effort what so ever at helping the students improve. Most teachers are very good but this one I am not at all impressied with.
