I used to go to this school. Now, this school sucked at accommodating students with mental health struggles/issues. They cared more about getting you back to class. 3+ counselors/social worker for what? If you have a child who struggles, I wouldn't recommend sending them here because it's just too unreliable. But I will say that most of the school was not so bad. Many teachers were well liked among students. In my experience, the only problems me and my family had, were with administration. And that obviously makes it hard to effectively communicate and ensure a supportive environment, which is why I put only two stars. The school tries, on paper they try, but when it comes to taking action and providing proper support, they don't do well as a whole. There are definitely some staff/teachers who do their best to offer and provide support, but without administration putting in consistent effort to come up with a working support plan; that lone support only does so much. Just don't send your kid to this school if they struggle with mental health. Chances are they won't be provided proper consistent support.

My teachers hated me. My science teacher made me stay after finals just because of one minor error.

Great School so far! I have a sixth grader who attend this school currently name changed to Prairie Ridge Middle School. My daughter loves her friends and they teachers are wonderful there as well. Teacher is very informative and keeps parent up todated with all that's happening in their classroom. I love how they have parent and student portal site so you can check your child's progress. The teacher will keep this current at all time. Great tools for busy parent! Student can also access this portal to check how they are doing. This school is great if you are thinking about sending your child here.
