Let me start by saying this is a review I never hoped to write.

This school was a complete and utter disappointment. While they preach professionalism, work ethic and strong core principles, they fail to hold their own teaching staff to these standards. I had high hopes and took their side many times when my child complained. By the end of the school year, after having experienced the lack of follow through first hand, I can honestly say I should have listened to my daughter sooner and pulled her from this school rather than giving them the benefit of the doubt. High teacher turnover rates, low quality teachers, and lack of self-discipline/accountability are just some of the offerings you have to look forward to from this LEA. Look past the facade and you’ll see all the indicators of weak leadership, poor oversight, and overall mismanagement. Steer clear or proceed with caution.

I only gave two stars cus the area the school is located isn’t fantastic. I think if you want your kids to be driven mostly by education and to be a CEO of a company one day this is a great school. There isn’t a wide variety the arts being integrated into the curriculum for those students who are interested or excel in those areas. My daughter was in the middle school , and because the campus is combined with the high school I feel she has been exposed to more mature subject matter a lot quicker. I also don’t like the constant communication between students and teachers after school .. doesn’t seem to be a good boundary.
