School Reviews

My daughter was re-districted to this school for her 8th grade year. I heard more stories from her about drugs in school, violence then I did her two years of middle school previously. I found the teachers unresponsive to emails as I am very active on ASPEN and always inquire about bad grades or missed assignments. I found events attended at the school to be haphazardly put together no sense of pride or enthusiasm from the staff. I found this school to be a complete disappointment and was sorry my daughter had to spend her last year here.
