The principle of this school,2008, told our child to leave and not come back. We are proud to report that Christopher Larken is getting straight A's and recently was nominated for homecoming king. Obviously the principle made a mistake but the end result is fabulous.Our son is happy with his new school.

This school is good, idk why people rate this school badly. There is virtually no bullying, harrasment, or bad behavior. And if there is, thats not the schools fault its the parents and the child.
