(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - 1 - Principal Leadership and Staff.
Shannon Bucknell is excellent! Sean Baylor is not good at all! Some of the staff are so bad, its disgraceful.
2 - Overall Ranking and Student Achievement.
My overall ranking would have to be only 2.5/5 because, theres no ABSOLUTE way to explain it but its just not a good school. Theres so many things wrong. And the student acievement, well, it depends on what teacher you have. Some, you will learn a lot others, not so much because you wont function.
3 - Teacher involvement and Guidance.
Depends on what teacher you have.
4 - Extracurricular Activities and Sports.
Awesome except for the 7th grade Volleyball coach.
5 - Classroom, Building and Playground Safety.
pretty good, just the classroom...oh, boy, a lot of things go on in there, NOT GOOD!!
6 - School Homework Load Appropriatness.
too much.
