This school is absolutely fantastic. I had lived in the area for about five years. I went to elementary & moved onto middle school. I had made friends & we were very nervous. I was wrong. It was a great school, warm-hearted, helping & kind teachers. They tought us alot. I am very blessed to have gone to that school. We have over 15 different clubs/activities. I hope you go & have as much fun as i did. Five stars. (:
