(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am very pleased with this high school. There has not been a time when I called a teacher and he/she has not been helpful. I transferred my child from a private setting and it was the best thing we could have done for her education. The teachers, administration and staff are caring and very supportive. It is very clear as to why this school is doing well and being recognized by the State and nationally for student achievement.

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is a joke. Any teacher that would embarrass a student in front of the classroom because the student mispronounced her name has no repect or dignity. Then goes and brag to another teacher what she did, has no morals. She should be reprimanded for what she done. There's enough students out there now with low self esteem. She doesn't make it any easier for the students for what she done. In my opinion she should not be allowed to teach. She is a disgrace to the scool and to our community. If you have these kind of teachers teaching at your school, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. You should be ashamed of letting teachers treat your students this way. This teacher owes that student an apology, not one on one but , in front of the entire classroom. I truly hope you take this situation seriously. She should not be allowed to teach!!!

- This school lacks very much with having teachers who take time with their students and having the ability to guide and coach them during school hours. I just changed my childs school the past 1yr and its the worst mistake I have ever made. Not impressed with any of the teachers. They have no passion in trying to help students pass.

- This school really prepared me for college and life itself, you just have to be a willing vessel. I received excellent guidance in regards to my future and the paths that should be taken in order to reach my goods. Very great school!
