The school wasn't that great. The teachers were fantastic though. They did what they had to do, educate us children and help us with our problems. All the teachers were determined to teach, friendly with the kids and have everything planned out for the day. The school had great competitions, events, and trips for those who deserve it. What really disappointed me was the environment and some of the students that attended this school. I'm Asian, and I was part of a Gifted&Talented class, therefore the students in other "plain/regular" classes think it's right to bully the ones who are more different. Many are not dedicated to learn and laugh at those who do. Each year, the amount of 8TH graders that don't graduate and go to summer school range from 60 to 80, which is a fairly large amount. A few students looked like they were supposed to be a senior in High School, or maybe even a freshman in college! I have seen children talk back and yell back at teachers, along with the use of foul language. If you hear curses, don't be surprised because it's used occasionally (Daily Vocabulary LOL xD). Sometimes, I don't feel safe walking around the school. I'm so glad that I've just graduated. :)

Angelika D.: I used to go to this school in 6th grade and it was amazing. I got to meet some friends, awesome teachers and enjoy everything that was happening there. The best part was the competitions between cornell, harvard, STANDFORD, princton, and yale. AWESOME SCHOOL!!!

This school is alright..it has poor regards for student safety, disipline, but it does do a great job at teaching the students.
