I love the school, the staff is so welcoming and they treat every child well.

First of all, my student/kid for dress coded for wearing sweat pants/pj pants and they made her wear this very tiny short shorts that half her butt was showing. It was a cold day and she couldn't so nothing about it. This is not a good punishment for nothing, its sweat pants not pants with guns, or drugs on them. This is not good for students at all, and even the learning. She was a top student at other schools even won rewards and yet she is failing and keeps letting violations.

This is a newer and very big school. It has an amazing sports facility with more than 1 feild. Its actually a very nice facility. There are some good teachers, but I haven't seen anyone really great. There are a few counsilers that go above and beyond, but I don't think they receive much support from the principal. They also don't hold these kids responsible for their actions. There seems to be no enforcement of attendance and no structure for discipline problems. I have tried to become involed or volunteer my time or anything and haven't received a response at all. The student body seems to ditch class very often and they all hang out at the park down the street. No one does anything about it. We are moving our student to a different high school. It's a shame, it's a beautiful facility, the school of business is great. But it stops there, the sports teams aren't very good. Attendance is horrible, drugs are everywhere, and all the staff blame others, if they care at all. Maybe a new principal and some intervention from the district would help. It has such potential. We are completely disapointed and our time here was a waste. The drop out rate for this school is climbing. I'm stunned that no one sees this and intervenes. I plan to write a letter to the district, but I don't think it will matter. If you have another option then send your kids to that instead of here.
