Report
I agree with the first review. This is a wonderful school. I went here decades ago and it was a caring, supportive and academically challenging school. I can't judge the current student experience today, though, other than based on its facilities, which are far better than when I went here (as I've only been on campus as an alum during off hours). The athletic fields are excellent and well-maintained. The alumni office does a great job keeping up with alumni and encouraging people to stay connected, too.

Report
I went to this school during 6th and 7th grade, and it was great. The school was improving the curriculum and provided countless opportunities and extracurricular activities for all students. I recall some amazing times there with my friends. There are so many great things this school has to offer in elementary, middle, and the high school, as a former student I would recommend this school to anyone.
