This is one school I would NEVER send my children to. Teaching is poor, EOG's have always been poor. Discipline is a joke at best. If your child is bright or even needs a little one on one help please look for another school.

This school is suffering under a tyrant for a leader. Until a change is made in leadership I fear that it is only downhill for all involved. It is run like a prison camp with little to offer well-behaved students or advanced students. My understanding is that over 1/2 of the students failed their EOGs last year. Poor leadership, poor moral, and poor direction!!!!!
