School Reviews
1 10/10/2025
I am a previous student; I am now in 8th grade and I got bullied every day in this school. A teacher told me I needed to be in special educational classes. Now I am in honors classes with straight A''s. There was little to no people who believed in me. There is very little diversity. The students treat people with less money like their worthless. I would not go to this school again, or send any child themselves.
