This school is nicely rounded, but could use work. The entire school is offered sports and clubs. There is after school tutoring. They discourage skipping grades, regardless of age or placement tests. 7th and 8th graders can be tested for slightly advanced classes in Math and Language Arts. 7th and 8th grade electives are instrumental art and choral arts taking the entire year, general art and woodworking switching off semesters. If entering your child in 5th grade, I reccomend Lisa Flees.
