Incompetent science department. Very bad science instruction. They really need to take what they have, flush it down the toilet and start over.

BAD SCHOOL. Grades are based on coloring and arts and crafts, not on knowledge. Middle school that is more suitable for entry into 1st grade than high school. No depth to anything. The bulk of the science teaching is simply copy the text exactly from a handout to a paper doll like flipbook. At least in eighth grade they do use a text book, albeit for the purpose of copying the pictures to the paper dolls. They are subsequently told to color them exactly as they are in the text. I guess I really don't know why this school district even wastes the money to buy textbooks. There are lots of good pictures on the web.I guess the take away is if you want your 7th or 8th grader to get real good at copying and coloring then this is the place for you. BTW, they are all stuck in their ways so no hope of getting them to change.Very very bad.

Very bad overall experience. Very strange educational style. Unfortunate it's the only show in town.

My son goes to this school. What I like about this school are the afterschool sports programs that keep the children busy and they attend competitive meets. The academics part is not bad, somewhat challenging. No complaints so far.
