There were fights and scandals, but it was occasional. One thing I want to complain about is the food. The pizza was chalk dry and the pick up stix barely had any meat. The district has these lunch sets which contain a main food, fruit and drink. I was never full from it! I had to go and buy snacks or else I would be starving. Everything was also way overpriced. One shrimpy slice of pizza was 3.75. It doesn’t look expensive but wait until you see the portion size…. Read 6 reviews
This teacher should retire or not be working with children. Absolutely awful teacher. The one thing my child is learning from him is the fact that there are indeed horrible teachers out there working and administrators cannot do anything in regards to switching your kid to a teacher where you kid will actually learn the subject at hand….

Preschool on-site (full and partial day) run through the district. Heavy emphasis on collaboration. Some grades combined. Moderate to heavy technology usage. No homework tasks (at least in lower grades). Fantastic daily, weekly and monthly communication with the teachers. I get pictures several times a day with updates on what the kids are doing….

I have seen both good & bad, but overall, I will say relatively good in compared to other middle schools. Admin & school board communication have been A+++. There are monthly coffee talk and you can see the schedule on the school event calendar. I noticed many parents’ suggestions were implemented by admin right after the coffee, very impressive! The few bullying that I heard of were investigated and actions were taken. Now, with recruiting of parent volunteers for lunch/recess time, it should only get even better! Never heard of LBGQT+ discrimination. I will say 80+% teachers are A+++, super supportive & care students learning. There are 1-2 that just asked students do worksheets but a minority & I don’t think there’s much can be done with the teacher union policy. I wish though physics class, UN/academic competition lunch club, teacher-led robotics, speech & debate can be brought back. But we do have 2 elective classes… Read 4 reviews

On the other hand, the teachers were very inclusive and engaging. The diversity of the students was nice with all different backgrounds. They need to improve on their clubs to make it more accessible and engaging for all different students. Most of their food was okay, but the main problem was the vaping. There were way too many kids their that did vaping. One of my friends cuts herself and I had told a counselor whom I trusted. She handled it very smoothly, but my friend still cuts her arms and I do not know how to get her to stop. The band teacher there is phenomenal that keeps the students very engaged and makes sure that they are having a good time…. Read 6 reviews
