Terrible, teachers lack effort when it comes to ANYTHING. Kids run around hitting Juuls and and clears in the classrooms. Like seriously, how do you not see that.

School genuinely cares about their students. Excellent curriculum that prepares them for college. They have all the necessary tools to do excellent work, each having their own Apple iPad. They hold antibullying rallies, anti-drug rallies reducing all these things from within their school. My son has attended this school his whole school age years and has never been bullied and I've seen a great reduction in it since my two daughters have attended it years prior. The new principal is taking this school to higher standards. They discourage non attendance by enforcing strict rules against students as well as parents, assuring they're adhered to or consequences are enforced. They invest in the needs, wants if the students and the parents by first listening to their needs, and then doing all they can to address them rather than ignore they exist. My son has special needs as well, and they go above and beyond to meet those needs of his, not putting him into a group as a whole but by treating him as an individual. Addressing his needs on an individual need basis, as they treat all their students, not just special needs. Parents students all concerns are heard and taken seriously. Their curriculum is above average, and their scores as well. You will be very pleased with the progress of this school which isn't afraid of progression and the newer challenging demands placed on students, and the forever cutting budget, they face all with involving all to be allowed to be heard so all are a part of the choices made in cuts if necessary, and they don't run from the newer changes placed on students to be better with grades in curriculum. In fact, they face these challenges head on without fear. An excellent school which leads by example by excellency.

Although we like the principal and his ideals for a good school, this school falls short. Curriculum development is needed. The curriculum in 9th and 10th grade does not adequately prepare students for IB classes
