We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Three of my children have or are attending this junior high. I think that the school is a great bridge between the elementary level and the high schoollevel. The staff are easy to access if there is an issue and willing to work with you if your child is struggling. Would highly recommend!!
