This is a good school for some fifth graders. You should go here. Sometimes it is boring and sometimes it is fun, but overall it is a great school. I would recommend you go here.

I don't recommend this school for any child to go there. The teachers were pretty good but the principals seem to want to just punish the child instead of helping to find out the problem. Went there for sixth and seventh grade of 2000-2002. The councilor did not care about any problems that you have. I have to say it was one of the worst schools that I have ever been to. I recommend if you really care about what school your child goes to move to Richardson cause they have way better schools and I had great experiences there. One school in particular Westwood Jr. High.
