I write this review years later, not for sympathy, but as a necessary record of a profound institutional failure. As a 15-year-old student, I experienced a complete nightmare in this school's care.After purchasing lunch, the cafeteria manager confiscated my food and called security because she suspected the cash I used—given to me by my father—was counterfeit. She had checked it with a permanent marker.What followed was a multi-hour ordeal. I was detained and questioned by police for over two hours. No one called my parents. The police implied and school security implied that my father was a counterfeiter. I was a terrified child, crying and unable to understand what was happening.The resolution was as absurd as the accusation was cruel. After more than two hours, someone realized the manager had used a standard permanent marker, not a counterfeit-detection pen. The police abruptly left. There was no apology, only the chilling realization that the entire system—the school staff, security, and police—had collectively failed to exercise a single ounce of reason, compassion, or due process.They took food from a child, accused my family of a felony, and subjected me to a traumatic interrogation without parental consent. This was more than a mistake; it was a violation of my basic rights and a testament to how easily prejudice can override protocol and humanity.I share this as a stark warning. This institution demonstrated it was capable of traumatizing a child over a simple misunderstanding. No student should ever feel this unsafe.

This school has been a great school, with great teachers since my husband & I went, now our daughter is going here & it’s only gotten better.

Yo fui a esta escuela en 6 y 7 grado y me encantó lo peor lo que me pudo a ver pasado fue mudarme porque todos los maestros son muy buenos como académico y buenas personas.
