School Reviews
| 1 I've had 2 students attend this school. First entered high school ill prepared. Now my 2nd has gone from an A/B student to struggle due to constant bullying. Help was sought from the principal and staff but nothing was done to resolve the issue. Some teachers are known to cuss during class. Seemed like a good school at first; little effort seems to be made to help kids that fall behind. - Posted by Parent - Nope |
| 5 I would choose this school over any other schools in the state - Posted by Student/Alumni - Jaydy |
