The school has not only released my son to other families in the past, they don’t take his needs seriously when he says he’s sick, they don’t make accommodations for kids with special needs, they randomly forget about this kids’ 504 plan, and randomly revoke exceptions. I’m sick of arguing with them.

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.

My children attend this school. Safety is very important at the school and I absolutely love that. My daughter is in special education and her teachers are very caring and supportive. Communication is fairly easy if parents log into Schoology weekly. My son graduated and the only disappointment is there was no recognition for student’s accomplishments for the school year if they were not in the top 10% of the class. My son maintained all As all senior year so I would have like to see an award ceremony for those students even if they weren’t at the top of their class.
