What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, July 18, 2015

I have 2 kids that attended this school. The standards are way too low. This school does not prepare the kids for college. They have a point system and basically gives away a passing grade, you actually have to try to fail. Work is not challenging and appears to be below grade levels. Seems as if they just want to push the kids thru so for graduation rate statistics. No problem with bullying that I saw. They offer sports and extra curricular activities which is also nice. They just need to encourage and push the kids to work to their full potential. If the staff cared the kids will care. Close Quote
