The parking is terrible. School events require us to walk uphill over a mile. We both have severe back issues from a car accident. I can drop my partner off, but that still requires me to walk a mile after 45+ minutes in traffic. Our kid has had trouble with tests due to reading difficulties so they've been reading her the tests. This is a valid stopgap while addressing the root problem. However, they're not addressing the root problem, so it seems like just a way to sweep the problem under the rug while keeping scores up. They've bought into this culture of terror. Despite the fact that a kid is more likely to be hit by lightning than injured by an adult in school they still have the place on lockdown. You'll be screened through a veriphone at a locked door, treated rudely by the staff, even have your license taken when you enter. I will say that the teacher's have mostly been nice when we've needed to talk to them. They respond via email, which is an absolute must in the 21st century, though I often got a much more in-depth and heartfelt response from the elementary school. All in all, it could be worse, but I'm looking forward to my kids moving on.

Went to this school up untill 8th grade was a horrible experience. Teachers would always tell me how stupid I was. I graduated valedictorian in college and high-school no thanks to this place. Bullied every day by students and staff.
