Horrible staff, teachers, administration, D20 had gone downhill...

Last school year, my daughter experienced repeated racial harassment from older students while passing in the hallways between classes. She was subjected to comments about her hair, skin color, and, at one point, was called the N-word by a group of senior boys and girls.We reported these incidents to the school multiple times and were told the issue had been “handled.” However, the harassment continued and actually escalated. When we followed up again, we were informed that another student had also reported the same group. The school’s response was to have the students write a paper about why they shouldn’t make those comments. There was no parent involvement, no meaningful accountability, and no follow-up with us as her parents.Due to the lack of appropriate action and support, we escalated the matter to the school district. The district opened an investigation and offered our daughter the option to transfer to another school within the district regardless of space. We ultimately chose Air Academy High School.Both her mother and I are dual military, and our children have attended multiple military-based schools. We have never experienced anything like this before. It is disappointing and concerning that this was allowed to continue without serious intervention. No child should have to endure racial harassment at school, and no parent should feel unheard when raising concerns about their child’s safety and well-being.

It's been a good experience and comparatively speaking it's a good public school.
