- I would say my children did learn a lot at this school and did well, thanks to SOME good teachers but as far as the leadership of this school that's another matter! There seems to be major problems in this area. TOTAL disrespect toward the parents and a lack of compassion toward the children.

(Rating: 2 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - i will say that i learned a lot but ONLY in ONE class. i think the school has gone too strict about pbs. they should not make us say "mustangs must be respectful, responsible, safe, and successful" EVERY morning.
