Moved to this school in 7th grade. 5 stars because this was one of the best schools I have gone to.

I'm a student in 8th grade currently. I love it here. We really show people not to bully people. We signed a pledge saying we won't bully the bracelet says "kindness is key; a smile saves a life". The lunches are SUPER crouded and the lines are very long. We need more healthier lunches, the salads are digusting with gross chicken. I would bring a lunch. The social life is great everyone is friendly, we support everyone. There is like no cliques at all.
