School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
The amount of electives at this school is practically non existant. The music / art programs are very under funded and are lacking in teaching quality. Though the facilities have been recently renovated, the school under uses them, and most of the time does not even make the new edditons available to the student body. The parents are very involved, but the school board does not listen for it is made up of parents who enlist their children in private schools.
