Great school, if you're willing to keep up. Lots of work, but you get opportunities and get to do fun things at this school you won't get at many schools. for example,t the renaissance fair, walk for impact, special field trips, etc.

I have went here for all of my middle school career and have NEVER SEEN A THIRD GRADER. Nice school, but the lunch tastes bad. Got some cool kids, but the band is really small. This hjuh person must be a robot, because teachers do care a lot about you students and love helping us learn.

Very unfair school. They don't care nothing about you student, at all. If your child is left behind, the teachers don't care. All they care about is their paycheck.
