The administration is not great. All female staff that do not seem to understand teen-tween boys. There was a male Vice Principal 2 years ago who did very well with the boys. Unfortunately he is no longer there. The administration targets certain kids , and continues to target the same ones unfairly. read more

This school is okay. I'm not the biggest fan of some of the subs and yard duties but whatever, The roach and ant infestation is disgusting. Some of these teachers need to work on getting people's grades updated faster, And I feel like many of the teacher are breathing down my neck when I'm doing absolutely nothing. But Seriously, I loved all my teachers (except my 6th and 7th grade PE teacher.) And if you want your child to make funny but weird memories, send them here. read more

I give this school a 1. The Special Needs Department was horrific. Words cannot express the wrong done to my child and other children in the class my daughter was in. I've always taught my daughter to stand up for herself. She decided to stand up for another child in class. What did they do as adults? Treated my kid terribly!!! Like they have no clue how it is to have a disability. They are screwed up! It's honestly been 10 years, and I still send hate their way. I give great reviews when you deserve one, know that! Helen should not be anywhere near disabled children. read more

This is school is very unpleasing, my child is getting bullied by 3 girls and they did absolutely nothing. All the staff here is so unsupportive and rude. My child feels very unsafe in all their classes because their teachers always give them a hard time and mentally abused my child. My child has been coming home crying everyday because of the bullying of staff AND students. This school is supposed to be an anti bullying school but my child still gets bullied and its by the STAFF. My child gets treated poorly by students and staff because they are apart of the LGBTQ+ community. This is unacceptable. read more

They gave us expired milk. My friends were throwing up. They had to go home. All they did was give us new milk. I'm so done with this school. From experience and knowing from friends that this school doesn't care about us. They call the police on us for no reason. Yell at us for no reason and have really unfair and cruel rules. Some teachers make us stay after the bell as a punishment. Which is illegal. Me and my friends want to kill ourselves. Mainly because of this place. And Friday school is so dumb read more

The new principal is really great and so are the other administrators. The teachers are fair and expect kids to really learn the material to prepare for high school. read more

If I could give this school a worse rating I would. Some of my worst mental health years

This school is horrible! The education is subpar. Teachers here are also burnt out and keep having students 'teaching' others in class or one student doing all the work. When having a tour a boy was purposely tripped and was told by teacher that happens a lot and kept walking. The kids have 'Slap Ass Friday' and do so without repercussions. My child was pulled/pushed while walking up the stairs to class until she fell. This occurred multiple times and she didn't feel safe going going to teacher or office. We had a teacher meeting and most were set in their ways and would not help my child learn. Her math teacher brags about her boyfriend and children in class instead of teaching. She even shows videos from her daughters Facebook page. She raised her voice at me and was starting to yell when I told her that was not acceptable to show in a class. Her name is Ms. Caroompas. read more

This school is very nice in my opinion. You get plenty of elective choices in 7th and 8th grade, but not too much at 6th grade where you can only pick from band, orchestra, and elective wheel where you switch between four electives every quarter. These electives are Health, Drama, Career options, and Art. The music program is very good and you can play and learn instruments throughout the school year for free. While they don't have every single instrument, they still have a good variety, from string instruments like violin and cello, to percussion and woodwinds like drums and flute. They offer very good classes and you can learn and instrument you've never played before rather quickly, without having any musical experience. School is quite big but not so much that you would get lost. Offers advanced math to 6th and 7th graders and algebra 1 to 7th and 8th graders. You'll have teachers and students you don't get along with, but that's normal -we all know not everyone gets along- and you'll have great classmates and teachers that you will get along with, and make new friends. Of course, lately there has been a trend of threats of violence against the school, but the police department and the school are working closely together. I think that this school, is a great school. read more

not a great school. but the yard duties they are the real ones the history teachers are either really good or really bad no in-between and there's barely any electives to choose. be careful some are creepy. The arts department is so small and the funding sucks but the band teacher is amazing the science department is also hit or miss. The english teachers are fine and the math teachers are mid. There are literally unassigned classes tho like theres no teacher for that class. read more
