This school has a terrible bullying problem. It is very unsafe and the administration is doing nothing to fix it. Close Quote

My daughter was there for a year, we moved out from the district. This school is useless. My daughter's time was spent in a trailer. They call them "learning cottages" LOL. The economic background of this area reflects the student quality and expectations that parents have on their kids. We are talking mostly a blue collar background. It reflects in the teaching methods for the students. The expectations are very low. We moved to a different area 100K+ household income, schools are much nicer. Better test scores. Close Quote
