my child went here for 5 years. front line staff and superintendent allowed my child to be pulled out of his class by my co-parent's girlfriend on 2 occasions during my parenting time and defended their behavior when confronted. my child class had a student with serve behavioral problems that made it extremely difficult to learn on a daily basis for a year. I believe the reason why this school system is allowed to rate themselves so high is because when students do not do well on the exams, they give retakes.

This is a really good school and the teaching is really good. They teach me a lot and I know way more now. The school challenges the students by making them do homework from the next level. I would really recommend this school. Also I am one of the only black kids in there and I feel safe and also accepted.

Teachers and staff gossiped about students' grades. It made me feel depressed, especially when I was struggling to learn while dealing with personal issues at home that felt like the weight of the world on my back. Many assignments felt like a waste of time. I developed terrible imposter syndrome, even though I was an honors student with a GPA over 3.5. No one ever noticed or appreciated my hard work. That alone shows how broken the American education system really is.After COVID, most teachers stopped caring whether students were actually learning. They treated everyone the same, regardless of what they were going through. Unless your grades were high, then they would suddenly act like they cared. A lot of people in education became cold and unmotivated. They overworked students and neglected their mental health. Sometimes, helping a struggling student is not about questioning or counseling their feelings. It's about giving them space when they’re not comfortable speaking up. But most teachers don’t understand that. They don’t actually care about students’ feelings. They only pretend to when your grades make you seem worth the attention.
