The quality of this school is dismal. The teacher/student ratio is so high that it does not permit proper learning. Parents must fund all extracurriculars by 100%. All programs are in jeapordy, the administration as failed in all areas. The school committe is combative. The school has been put on warning status bu the New England Association of schools.
