There was no option for past student so here we are! A year ago or... 2 years ago since its the new year yay!!! I went to this school, and I stayed and saw a lot! Because its either you'll have an amazing time or a really not so good time... it matters more with the people you surround yourself with. Have friends! Good ones! Because if you are walking by yourself, people will pick and push at you! Seriously, what i did was i just stayed as neutral as I could until I met the people that I am still friends with today! After 2 years! I feel the school did a terrible job on helping lots of kids, keeping a lot secret from others. There was lots of fights in the morning or at lunch, lots of girl students would either be sexually harassed, or mentally abuse other girls. A lot of boys would either have came in cheery and excited to start school and then being so done with life after they walked through the halls where kids ran and yelled racial slurs at each other, or they would be the kind to bully everyone. Hah! Im not even at the bottom of the ice burg! All my friends which we are not in this school anymore have made an entire group chat dedicated to venting about our experiences! Some having been bullied so bad they almost committed. And it was the first school, when I was in 6th grade that I learned a kid died and not a lot of people talked about it, I heard the class next door laughing about their death. It is a really cruel place if you dont have you back guarded. Whether if thats loosing a loved one or being cheated on because you are too ugly, nobody really cares. Again, surround yourself with the people who care about you, whether if thats a coach or friends. It took me a while to find good ones, but keeping you head low and knowing who you are on the inside can really help when it comes to the flaws the school has. Besides, not everything is all flames and death the moment you step past those gates. There were some genuinely likeable teachers out there who supported you, whether if you were struggling with identity, politics, or just growing into a world that criticizes you for not being the person they all want you to be. Do whatever you want! Don't have to listen to this review but im almost running out of letters allowed! Don't listen to anybody unless its a lawyer or your guts because you will need some for this school! Happy new year!

This school utilizes seclusion and restraint on students as young as kindergarten.

As a parent, I was very disappointed with our experience at this school. Over the four years our child attended, we did not feel they received the academic support they needed. Communication was also a recurring issue — in our experience, the counselor, Claudia, was often difficult to reach and follow-up frequently required multiple emails or contacting the front office.It also seemed that academic performance and intervention for struggling students were not prioritized consistently. We felt there was a stronger focus on maintaining comfort and flexibility than on accountability and educational progress.
