I think the teacher at this school do a great job at what they do and what there suppose to do. The teachers quality in working with other students is amazing. We as students have to put our learning first,and incorporate our acknowledged. We have to put part in us and our skills to become a great person who wants to have a great job and life. Over all in my opinion these teachers are doing a really great job teaching us new things and giving our brain a new skill.

Unless you are in the academy program this school is awful. Anyone not in the academy program is treated like garbage. If your kid gets picked on bullied no one cares they do nothing about it. Mr. Ladding has got to be the worst principal I have ever seen, and that is why we are in a hurry to move....
