School Reviews

Horrible! The vice principal and principal are all about politics and pleasing parents with athletic kids. The school district is money driven. They push for kids to be on Individual Education Plans so they can receive an extra 4,000.00 - 5,000.00 per student from the state. Plus, they push for retakes to ensure that the school education rating stays up. If the students get better grades, then the school looks better.

The school has parents the love to help out. my only disapontment about the school is there are some problems between students and teachers for example some theachers take favoritism in grades or memory of siblings.
