School Reviews

I wish my child could continue here for high school. We have been so pleased with how they have all gone beyond themselves to make my child feel comfortable. All the rules they have are wonderful. I cant imagine anyone not liking this school.
2 3/10/2010
My family moved from the midwest. My children are repeating the same course material from the previous year. They do not offer a quality program for those who are gifted learners. They students have to choose to do band or chorus and other programs such as computers, art etc in a program called WIN(What Individual Needs). I find the staff at the front office to be incompetent and frankly rude and disconnected. The teachers that we have had so far are not helpful. It took asking the principal to have a teacher email after asking for months so I could keep connected on my student progress. They use ASD (after school detention) for every and any infraction. If you student is tardy or absent so many times ASD. I believe they are being punitive to the students. Parent involvement only happens if you are signing up for teacher appreciation lunches and the such. I do not recommend this school to anyone.
