This was a very good school. The teachers were very nice and helpful. At the the end of the year for the 8th graders they have the 8th Grade Dance Competition. The only bad part part about the school is that half of the seventh graders have Lunch A with the eighth graders and the other half of the seventh graders have Lunch B with the sixth graders, which is very late so some of the teachers would let the student bring snacks during there 3rd hour classes.
