The school serves students in 6th through 8th grades with a standards based curriculum, dedicated teachers, opportunities with enrichment programs, and a student population that is diverse just like the real world.

Along with core subjects, the school offers sports and other extracurricular activities for its students that wish to participate. This includes cross-country, track and field, volleyball, basketball and soccer. Activities include honor society, music inspired classes and courses for English learners. Some students explained they would like to see yearbook and cheerleading added to the activities.

Some parents have mentioned concerns over bullying and how some of the teachers are lackluster. The school has high expectations for its students which some parents like and some parents do not.
