I personally hated a lot of the teachers there. I think that a lot of my experience could have been better if the teachers cracked harder down on racism and discrimination. This leaves more room for improvement and future generations and I hope to see that. Close Quote

This school, is in my humble opinion, the best in the district. It is located in a residential area and has beautiful grounds. The staff is wonderful, the faculty is very invested in the success of the students. It is a place the kids feel safe and it makes a great learning environment. Close Quote
