    Please DO NOT allow your child to go to this school if your child has been properly diagnosed with…read moreADHD / ADD or any other learning disability, if you want your child to thrive DO NOT allow your child to go here. Jumping through hoops to get a continuation of evaluation with School District Psych request another evaluate (going on year 3) my child would benefit IEP class that can give structure in a smaller setting to support with learning disabilities, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) outlines tailored educational strategies. For 3 years my child has struggled and still continue to struggle (ongoing "F"s in 3 of her classes). When reaching out to her teacher only to be recommended to another 3rd party learning facility (unwilling to help). This school does NOT care for the best interest of your child's education. Possible mismanaging funding. However, they certainly care about the number of VOTES (funding programs) I get ongoing emails, text messages, voice messages stating: "don't forget to vote" . But, anytime a parent is reaching out for help, NO action taken from the School District what so ever. The bullying at this school is disgusting, the school bus transportation is excessively / poorly managed late at least 3x per week or don't have a bus in route due to short staffing, not enough drivers and will mark your child "unexcused tardy" without any type of communication from the transportation dept.

    This school is a TERRIBLE school to send your children, the entire staff at this middle school…read morelikes to bully the students and they single out students and treat them like crap. The teachers also allow other students to bully eachother. There's weed being smoked in the bathroom and fighting all the time. Would not recommend.

    Think hard, don't lie to yourself... Does your child need a bit of support academically? Do you…read morethink they might? Do you want small class sizes? Are they on meds that need to be administered at school? Are they Neurodiverse (Dyslexic, Anxiety, ADHD, Autistic, Dyscalculia, etc.)? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this school probably isn't for you. We really loved the school when the kid was younger. But, partway through the lower school, supports and amenities suddenly got a lot more scarce! The Middle School is even worse. Were the staff at fault? Usually not. Decisions were made and the kids that needed a bit of help paid the price. There isn't a school nurse. They have remodeled some of the specialist-type classrooms to convert them into classrooms. There has been quite a bit of staff leaving in the last 5 years. There isn't a real 9:1 kid to teacher ratio in practice, they use alternative accounting practices including counting staff members like the librarian (kids see the librarian for an hour or less per week while most teachers rush back to their rooms for preparation time leaving the librarian often alone with the kids). Teacher assistants in the lower school are not necessarily full time and are often pulled from class to cover teachers and things like playground duties. The administration is actively trying to add more students per class, and more classes overall, as all administrators are prone to do. In short, while it is a beautiful school, it isn't for everyone. Try not to be dazzled and ask the hard questions. See if this is right for your family. It is an expensive question to get wrong.
