(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Have had major problems with office staff. They run the school like this is TJ. Had to call the district superintendent to the school three times for problems. They don't like me now, but the feeling is mutual. (teacher's are great, work hard, and the kids love them!) If we could just get rid of the office staff;)

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My son is in honors at this school and he likes the school very much. The campus is always clean and I agree with all of their policies except for having to go to Saturday school if you miss a day. Even if you have a doctors excuse. Other than that, it's almost perfect.
