The school is okay but some teachers just don’t care or just mean as heck! The students there plan a fight and there is like 3 fights everyday no matter what grade. A lot of people have beef and fight and the teachers don’t do anything. After fights and stuff they do a pretty good job but that’s pretty much it. If a school shooting or fire or something happens the school is calm and safe. I don’t really know what to say about if you should go to the school or not, but you can make friends and have fun it’s just there is some bullies or stupid playful kids that might just ruin your day or experience there. It’s alright to be honest.

I wanted to leave a painfully honest review for others to see, especially since their Google Reviews appear to be turned off for some reason. I would not recommend that any parent enroll their child in this school. This high school is one of the most disgraceful in the district, and it’s filled with misbehaving students that teachers and administrators struggle to manage. As an alum, I can confidently say that bullying is a serious issue there. I had many classmates who made rude comments about almost anything, and simply reporting them to an adult was not enough to stop their behavior. I also witnessed a few teachers and staff members bullying and gossiping about students who were just trying to get through school and graduate, which is extremely unprofessional. Another important concern is that some adults there show clear bias and treat certain students unfairly. Unfortunately, if your child is not in the magnet program, they may not receive the same quality of education, as a significant portion of funding and resources appears to go toward Horizon students. Please consider other options when choosing a high school to ensure your child is in a safer and more supportive environment.
