  • Good school district with a good curriculum base. I am happy with what my children have attained here. The teachers are excellent, very professional and go above and beyond the limit.

  • I have a step child that goes to this school. At this point the child is lucky if reading at a 1st grade level. But because of poor teaching or just wanting the child out of the way everyone keeps pushing him/her on. I don't see much of a future for this child and in some parts it's thanks to the schools.
