I came to this school after going to Davis Drive Middle for 6th and 7th grade. This school made the transition very easy and the teachers and administration were very helpful in navigating a large school. The students were very nice and accepted me. Most of the students though were rude an very obnoxious to the teachers. The teachers could definitely punished problem students more. Overall this school was much better than Davis Drive and would highly recommend it to the Arts student

the school was ok. I went there for all 3 years. The PTA is wonderful and go out of their way to set up a lot of things for us which is very generous of them. Then there are the teachers. A lot of the teachers are wonderful and I love them, but a few i have doubts and feel like they don't care or don't know what they are teaching. The arts programs are amazing and I was in orchestra and chorus and loved it. If your a creative person who seeks to be in any type of art then this school is god for you. If your somenoe is is purely academic and doesnt feel like performing in the arts i"d suggest choosing a different school.
