This is the worst school ever they don’t care about any of the students

I was genuinely unsafe at this school. Admin/office staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful as a new student. While I had my fair share of good teachers, library staff & coaches were quite bold to insult a 14-yo new student and ignore bullying.I was being threatened with group physical and cyber violence; no action was considered for my safety. Classes were rambunctious and teachers were often “left to the wolves” and without any help from admin. Much of the school was not clean or kept up. Teachers were not given resource or guidance for students that could not speak English, but rather deferred them to other peers. Fights were often between students. I could not keep attending nor let my rising freshman little brother attend. Only positive experience I remember is the athletics; coach on the swim team was an awesome lady & I received a lot of encouragement and support as a shoo-in. Weightlifting was also big there, and also nice people.

This school offers a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel excited and motivated to learn. Teachers are respectful, encouraging, and truly care about students’ academic and personal growth. The school prioritizes safety, inclusion, and strong social-emotional support for all students. Families are welcomed as partners, making this a school I would confidently recommend.
