Friday, June 7, 2019

Great school! One of the best kept secrets in JCPS. Hard working staff and seems like a genuinely great all around environment. Just being around, the only issues I ever see are a few loose screw parents who probably will never be happy and have their own personal issues. But, that is by no means the norm. Close Quote
