The new school building is so beautiful. The students have an amazing gym, a large field, and many basketball hoops. My kiddos love the basketball program and coaches. The Volleyball coach is amazing as well. The classrooms are nice and so are the teachers. You should check this school out for yourself.

This school does not have a good music program, they don`t even have an orchestra. Compared to my child`s new school (Hercules Middle School) my child can partake in an orchestra, band, and even a choir. Coming from a family that plays instruments and sings, this extremely good.
