Very disappointing experience. Very overcrowded (was that way before COVID, much worse now). My kids have had "gym" class every year, because they can put 80 kids in there and not have to put them in a language or humanities class. Teachers are apathetic and burnt out. The leadership of the school is patronizing when concerns are raised. I would look elsewhere in the district (EAST) or skip middle school for private school with a plan to return for high school Close Quote
