802 Hackberry Street

As a former student of this high school, I have to say that this school could not have been a more worse experience. I attended this school for 2 and 1/2 years. This was my first high school and probably my last public high school due to my understanding of how public schools today run. The school is not the place that you should take your child to. I was really involved with a lot of the activities that they provided. I did soccer, band, HOSA, TAFE, CNA, and many other extra curriculars. It was really fun my first year but I realized that it was impacting my health negatively. Instead of getting more out of my education and involvement, I got less out of it. The kids there are really toxic. Not enough room to walk around during passing periods. There are way too many fights in that school. Too much drama that will impact your child negatively. Too many threats. Most kids do drugs such as vaping, smoking, and a lot of mental issues. Don't let your child come here unless you do mind them getting surrounded with these activities.Even on top of that, the environment of the school is awful. Most bathrooms are not functional and not enough staff to monitor these areas. The auditorium still smells horrible even after a year that cricket season ended. A lot of graffiti in the bathrooms as well. It is a really small school. The halls are way too crowded when everyone is getting to their classes. I often am either standing in hall because there are way too many students in this school. I really recommend that they either expand the school or make another high school in the area.So if you want to have your child come to this school, just know that it is chaotic. The staff to student ratio is just not nearly enough and the parents involvement is too low. Many things that happen are not mentioned to the public and it overall will be a bad experience.

I would give no stars if I could. For years my son has had issues with the school and their staff. I've had him tested through a dr and the schools testing system. He has ADHD and currently is on medication (which I can't stand) yet he still has rough days. The days that are the worst are days that he is instigated by staff and other students. I've advocated for him to get under certain programs which I'm lied to constantly about them upholding. I know kids do lie but for the same thing to be told to me daily about how the staff interacts with him is unbelievable. I've done everything I can to stand up for him to get him help and the education he needs for them to go against it repeatedly and say things they shouldn't to a child just to make the situation worse. This school needs a state evaluation for how they handle behavioral situations. They also flat out refuse to put him in a full time behavioral class stating he doesn't need it. Yet call or message consistently about said behavior.

I would totally rate my experience at S.C.Lee 10 out of 10!! Students, including myself, learn great lessons and learn about yourself. Nice students you can met and great teachers that is willing to help you succeed!! I am learning many new things in S.C.Lee. I hope to see you there!-7th grader 2019
