My daughter was bullied at this school so many times and nothing was really done. There is a lot of racism there. Kids were always vaping in the bathroom. My daughter had things stolen from her during gym class. The only nice thing I have to say is there were a few great teachers there.

Ive been going here since 6th grade and I'm too tired to write a full review but this schools is great but homophobia and racism are highly present.

My experience at this school has been ok. There are many good teachers that really do care about their students. But bullying is a real problem there is too many rude students. The support staff is moderately helpful. The lunch staff can be a touch rude. It is a good environment if you find the right friends. The “popular” kids are very rude and are always bragging about how rich they are. I would like to say a thank you to Michael Orr and Taylor Bussinger for being so nice and fun they are an amazing teachers. Overall the school has not made a good impact on my life and has contributed to some of my anxiety over the years. Would recommend.

It is a very nice school the teachers were nice but the students and the overall school were old and not very sanitized. The teachers were great but the food and classwork isn't the best or most engaging.

My experience at this school was fine but the building could be remodeled and seems very old. Uniforms for sports need to be replaced and many more things do too!

There are several talented and dedicated teachers at this school. The administration is pretty pack luster. They seem to just be herding children through an awkward developmental phase rather than making an effort for each child to develop and grow. Over-all, a good learning environment created by committed teachers.

Although this school looks to have all of the educational amenities a parent would want for his or her child, nothing can substitute the feelings of feeling safe while at school. The bullying at this school was horrible. My child was constantly teased for his non-athletic abilities and offered drinks of "kool-aid" as a racial joke. Even after reporting it, the bullying didn't stop. In general, the unacceptance of minorities seems to be an issue at all three levels of school in this area. Of course, we met several great teachers and some nice families, however more should be done to educate the students in diversity as a whole, not just handicap students.

I attended middle school here a few years ago and it was horrible. I was countlessly bullied by the snobby, rich, white kids and administration never did anything about it. And it wasn't just me, bullying is a major problem at this school and the principals and counselors just ignore it. The teachers don't value their students and they are all lazy. The support staff is rude. It's hard to make friends and be accepted. Horrible, horrible school.
