School Reviews
| 5 It was a good school. Truskowski, Granno and Punteri were batRemoved crazy. Great memories! The top review with the illiterate student needs to be edited. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Schilling |
| 4 Trash school; literally entered the school at 7:40 late every single time if you don't know what I mean I am basically saying I entered the school 5 minutes earlier and still gotten late. I got 9 late and 1 absents right now that 1 absents is fake I entered every day 7:40. - Posted by Student/Alumni - TRASH SCHOOL |
| 2 Good school. Teachers and staff are great, they take care of everything. Also good education. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Slim |
| 2 It would be a good school if the teachers actually showed interest in the well being of the students. Students are often judged and criticized by their race and appearance, by their teachers. Teachers do little to help prevent student injury and fights. Academics are fair, as well of parents involvement. - Posted by Student/Alumni - diamo |
