School Reviews
| 5 the school has amazing learning resources. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Amber |
| 1 My daughter currently attends, and I am so disappointed. There is extensive bullying, favoritism by teachers giving students grades they did not work for in 6th grade classes. A Dean that does nothing. The teachers here call parents for sport. They don't try to solve problems when they occur. - Posted by Parent - Stacy |
| 2 The teachers and staff are exceptional but the higher uppers.. Principal and vice principal like to hide truths cover-up and take sides in altercations. MS. Hudson is the best, so is MS. Dante and MS Stevens. I'm glad my son it's graduating. There is a lot of preference, though. If I could do it again, my child would not go there. - Posted by Parent - Passerby |
| 3 Despite drops in several areas, the school seems to be holding its own., especially with a Principal in charge for 10 years. That shows stability. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Frank |
