(Rating: 4 / 5) Report As Inappropriate 
- Excellent teacher involvement; wide range of extracurricular options for kids. Very caring and invested staff!
- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on November 30, 2009
(Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - Very bad school! They have a major problem there with kids being bullied and they do hardly nothing to correct the problem. Many kids left this school this year because of that problem.
- Reviewed by a Former Student on July 03, 2010 (Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- Poor school, the 5 star rating that they claim they have is wrong. Enrollment has dropped a ton. Teachers are ok, Principal is just plain bad and does not care about anything. They do not do enough to punish the problem kids and take it out on the good kids, which in turn makes the parents remove the good kid and place them out of the district. My advice, stay away and look somewhere else.
