The lunch lady just sits there the whole time, either on her phone or talking, and doesn’t really pay attention to serving students. She only puts out one round of hot food and never refills it. So if you get to school after around 8:10 or 8:15, your only option is cereal.It’s not really fair, especially for kids who rely on school meals as their main source of food. They end up having to eat cereal every morning just because the hot food isn’t being refilled.

I am leaving this review with a heavy heart and a deep sense of outrage. The Terra Nova High School administration, under Principal Megan Carey and Vice Principal Steve Pofahl, has allegedly fostered a culture of negligence that has put students in harm's way. The public statements from the district's superintendent, prioritizing legal jargon and "setting the record straight" over student well-being, are deeply disappointing and insulting to the community.From what I have observed and heard from current and former students, the administration allegedly failed to act on numerous reports of inappropriate conduct by staff members. Multiple accounts detail students and parents bringing forward concerns about specific teachers, only to be met with inaction, canceled meetings, and a complete lack of follow-up. This is not an isolated incident; it appears to be a systemic problem.I have seen the pain of students who went to their counselors and trusted adults for help, only to be ignored. Their stories describe a school environment where students fear for their safety, and where their trust in the adults who are supposed to protect them has been completely shattered.Until the leadership is held accountable and a transparent, top-to-bottom overhaul is conducted, I do not believe Terra Nova High School is a safe place for students. It is a school that has allegedly failed to protect its most vulnerable population, and that failure has had devastating consequences.
