- In my opinion, the school is poorly organized and lacks leadership from the administration/ faculty. It appears that teachers are allowed to teach their own version of established curriculum to the detriment of the students. It seems the overall culture is one of appearing positive on the surface but having little to no substance. Furthermore, it is one of the largest Middle Schools in the state of Ohio and still has sub-par sports programs. To end, the school currently has an open law suit because one of their teachers was accused of "branding" crosses on students and teaching a self established religious view of quack science/creationism.
