What people are saying

by a student
Saturday, August 6, 2011

I go there currently and I absolutely love it! My mom was planning on moving but she wouldn't move anywhere where we'd have to go to a different school. My younger brother and cousin are excited to come. The teachers pay attention to individuals that need it and bulling is very rare! I've only been bullied once by some girls that just mouthed about me. Other than that, bully-free! I'm an rising eighth grader so I'm sort of like a veteran of the school...? I think if this school would be torn down, the community's heart would go with it, same with the elementary. One of my favorite things about this school is that most of the teachers have been there forever. I have no problem with my studies, in fact I'm in the beta club! Thank you so much for taking your time to read this! Close Quote
