There was really good after school programs that was very fun and helpful the school is very diverse and the fact that everyone has to pick an arts related class is so amazing. I had a very good time there

My experience at this school was positive but same can't be said for most students. I graduated years ago. I was an honors student at this middle school therefore, I was surrounded by the good group of kids, had access to taking HS regents exams and felt academically pushed. This made high school, easier for me because I built up a work ethic. However, It's riddled with bullying and drama. Instead of properly addressing poor behavior school staff believe yelling at children is the solution to solving defiance. Yelling in a child's face and forcing them to sit at a lunch table where they can't talk is not going to fix their bad behavior. Many students I witnessed ended up going down the wrong path and befriended the wrong crowd. Students ended up being incarcerated, pregnant, dropped out of high school, didn't attend college. Stay away from this school unless you intend to be in the honors classes.

I had a terrible experience in this school. I graduated back in 2014, so I’m not sure if things have changed. The deans were actual bullies and spoke to the students like they were trying to mentally break them. Which is problematic considering that they were all white men in an institution where most of the students are minorities. Looking back all I remember is all the yelling they did. The teachers were okay, guidance counselors were awful... it’s hard to believe now that they were professionals.

They give wayyyyy too much hw... my daughter goes there and every day she comes with a bunch of hw. Like what! But still it’s an fun school

The teachers were amazing, I still go back to visit. I felt welcomed and safe at school. A great middle school.

I was a student here about a couple years ago, and from my experience this school was pretty average. Although there are many students you don't get to know a lot of them because there's just too many, teachers don't even know your name unless you're a "trouble maker". I will however say, that some of the teachers here are pretty cool and understanding. You for sure will make some memories whether they are good or bad. Oh, and the senior trip and prom were great.

the music teacher would be mr.solo he help the student learn how to play their instrument of choice and push them to learn

the nurse is alway availability and if he or she is not the staff member would make sure you are safe

like every other school there is a diversity of culture, and student trying to fitting in, and pass their classes.

it an great school as a whole the staff member and teacher play an important role in the student academic life and push them to success

the teacher and staff member are always their for the student

the school offer a boy and a girl basketball team, were the team complete each year to make it to the playoff
