Open Quote If I could give this school a 0 I would. This school is absolutely atrocious the teens that go there are unruly and fight and bully constantly to any easy target there are multiple families I know that opted to move out of this area just because of the middle School issues the kids come out cussing fighting yelling other obscenities the teachers are completely unaware of what goes on in their classes when their backs are turned! They never hold the kid that’s the issue accountable in turn they move the kid whose bullied instead of the bully themselves. Do not send your child here if you have a choice. Close Quote
