I am thoroughly impressed with the turnaround this school has made over the past year. The administration team has really done a good job getting the school headed in the right direction. The teachers are dedicated to their students as test results show (passed AYP for the past several years in a row according to the paper). The teachers are showing interest in each of their students as they stay late in tutoring programs and doing whatever is necessary to ensure their student's success. The athletic program has turned around here recently as well, and the coaches seem to have the kids best interest at heart and have shown steady improvement over the past couple of years. I am definitely going to send my child there next year when he is going into middle school!
