School Reviews

The school has a few great teachers, my son loves his social studies teacher. However, the administration does not know what they are doing. The school is always short of teachers due to turnover. Maybe if they made more than $30k a year they would get better quality teachers. My son is graduating this year and won''t be back - parents find a better school.

My daughter loves this school. Such small classrooms. Which is great since she can get stressed out in a big school.
