My daughter attended this school and it was a complete disaster. The academic quality was inferior and the teaching staff was incompetent. Parental involvement was low but I think that starts at the superintendent's office because he is not very parent friendly. Based on the high tax base, this is one of the worst districts I've ever been in.
