My child has been going to this school for 4 years. It seems as if most students in her class every year are below average. Last year her teacher told me that if we wanted a conference I would have to request it. I didn't agree with that process at all but I did, 3 times, because I feel its necessary. My child dealt with being bullied last year as well and I was not at all happy with how the teacher handled it. I would not suggest moving into the area that will put your child at this school.

I just came here for my eigth grade year, behavior is insane. The school lacks a lot. There isn't enough punishment going on, there are fights, there is bullying, not really any information gets sent to parents. Situations on the bus don't really seem to get handled depending on who your bus driver is. Lots of racism. In the halls people will be saying slurs and cussing. (It becomes a normal occurrence at that point) Music/band teacher grades a certian way making it difficult to get a somewhat decent grade. If you are playing good while others aren't the class as a whole will bring you down, making it hard to bring it up anyway, grading playing tests are weird too, people swap out to do grades and sometimes get stuck with the grade and in the class. Time for the good things! Great 8th grade math teachers. They actually stand up and teach rather than making us do a bunch of work by ourselves online. Work is on paper for the most part! They are always open to questions and help when you need it. Thats it, thank you for reading and good luck if you go to this school! (I wouldn't recommend.)

We moved from out of state and my ninth grade daughter was doing well especially during the pandemic and online learning. Within two months of online learning, she was called a racial slur. I immediately contacted the chain of command via email and then called and talked w/one of the asst principles for her grade. I was assured that this type of behavior was not tolerated. Needless to say, the situation was immediately addressed as the student was not online in class for several days. I was glad that a situation like this was not taken lightly and after overcoming this hurdle, my daughter has continued to excel in all classes. During the pandemic, homework is rarely given and in some classes, watching videos has become mundane. The teachers are pretty responsive considering the circumstances of teaching to online and traditional students at the same time. If we stay in this school district, we shall see how tenth grade goes.
