School Reviews

My child goes here, and she's been bullied all three years she's been going here. The teachers move on without the kids they get frustrated if they don't understand things. The school cheerleading team is racist and they pick from skin color and not performance. The school's guidance counselor does nothing about the bullying in the school. I've heard about plenty of girls fights that have gone on at this middle school and I am here to inform u that this school is undereducated, They do not seem to care about the children the kids practically run the school. Even the electives teachers are rude and obnoxious and I know my daughter well enough to not give anyone trouble because she's been to plenty of schools and never had any problems.
