Just like any other schools, there are pros and cons. I used to be a student at this school. The building used to be a high school so it’s pretty old. For the time I was there, the water fountains were off limits. Besides the water fountains, the school is safe. This is because of the dangerous levels of led in the water. At times, bathrooms would be locked on certain floors just because a few people would misbehave in the bathroom. Classrooms were pretty standard and were pretty large. School lunch was standard as well with the school providing discounted or free lunch. The schools curriculum and activities were standard, however other students were given an opportunity to take an enrichment class depending on their scores. In addition the school also has a nurse. Just like every other schools, there are good and bad teachers. Some teachers wouldn’t encourage students and would give up on some. Other teachers were amazing and would change up the curriculum a bit just to make things fun for the class. One example would include a teacher giving us a review on our vocabulary by playing kahoot. Do I recommend going to this school? Yes, I recommend it. The school is safe and overall the teachers are good.

Ever since Mr. Rivera took over as principal I have seen a positive change in the atmosphere. He has implemented so many new things for the school. He is attentive and caring to many issues and concerns (small or big) he shows great compassion to the students as well as parents.

Great school, My son has learned a lot, there are small classes and an excellent curriculum. Safety has never been an issue, I always have a peace of mind. Can be costly but worth the peace of mind.
