The new Principal needs to be replaced with someone that has more experience. The counselor Ms. Hallett is my child’s only saving grace. She is absolutely the best person to have around my child! Close Quote

Bullying is happening here so is racism do not go here if your Asian/ White and don't want to get bullied. The teachers are awesome there though the students lie and say their terrible. The school in general is nice but the students have to be disciplined on this kind of behavior-8th grader of 2019 Close Quote
