The overall feel of the school is horrible. The front office staff is difficult to deal with, combative, and blatantly rude. There is no communicate between parent and teachers. The education received there is poor on its best day. In 2 years I have yet to have a decent experience with them. My family will be relocating to keep from spending anymore time in this situation. I know 4 parents who are homeschooling until the end of middle school because the school is intolerable. If you are thinking of moving into this district. Don't. I wish someone had told me not too.
