The administration is poor and completely ego driven.Any well articulated poor reviews they report on google. More than half of their Facebook reviews are of current and past teachers. Completely misleading you into thinking it is a good school . Don’t enroll your kids here if you have the choice. If you care about your kids academics, have gifted kids or kids who have a passion for learning. This is not it. I transferred my kids out. Close Quote
