The leadership at this school is painfully absent. The principal is non responsive. My son graduated last year and -- like another parent said -- I had to enroll an army of tutors to get him through. A few of his teachers were fine. But for the most part, the teachers don't really care about the challenges the students have and the principal completely ignores the needs of the kids. It's unbelievable how bad it's gotten. I have another kid in middle school and I absolutely won't send her to high school here. Do yourself a favor and don't bother considering this school. Unless your kid is perfect, i.e., can process a huge amount of work in a short period of time and adhere to every deadline WITHOUT help - maybe this is the school for you. BUT, if your kid is that good of student, there are far better schools to send them to!!

As a guardian of a current student at this school, this student is being bullied and none of the teachers are doing anything about it. It was already pretty bad that the teachers aren't doing anything about the bullying, but it is worse that the teachers did not let this student tell their family members about it because they say that it will make it a bigger deal. It is not alright for a teacher to tell their student to not call their parent because of it will ruin their school reputation. The teachers dealing with this problem says that they will be able to fix the problem but they didn't do anything. Now this student is afraid to go to school because the bullies threathens to jump this student and call their friends over to also bully and join in. Also, the bullies didn't get in trouble because the teacher said that he did not see it happen. This isn't the first time this student was bullied but the first time, there was at least one teacher that tried to solve the problem but she left so now this student is having trouble solving this new problem. As for learning, teaching, and other parts of reviewing a school, if students don't feel safe then they obviously would not feel motivated or excited about learning and other activities.

The PTA members at this school consistently come across as unpleasant. This treatment is particularly directed towards Asian women who are not proficient in the language. There are also Asian women among the members, but they share the same attitude. There seems to be a tendency to dislike people who are flashy yet struggle with language. Even when I made a donation, there wasn't a single word of gratitude.
