(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a seventh grader here and next year I will be in eighth grade. I really like this school, and I have not been called a "sevvie" as people said I would. The eighth graders are very nice and funny. Most of the trouble is caused by seventh graders trying to fit in with the eighth graders, but the eighth graders don't cause trouble. If they bump into you in the hallway, they apologize. If you spill something next to them in the cafeteria, they'll help you pick it up. This year has been one of the very best years of school for me. The teachers, and the students, have had a very positive effect on me.

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I'm very disgusted by this school. Your student will most likely be involved in drugs because of the depressing atmosphere of the old gross school. I'm glad im out of there.
