This school is full of hooligans, their pants hanging down showing their underwear. I'm tired of their schenanigans.

I am alumni of this school and I am a little disappointed in the reputation this school receives. I think it has things it can work on but like all Fairfax County Schools it is ahead of many schools throughout Virginia.

My son was former student of this school. This school has many issues and it's not safe environment for children.
I will not enroll my daughter to this school in the future.
