I went to this school all four years. I had lots of experiences and graduated last school year. So many fights happened. Bathrooms are horrible cause stall doors break, the locks never work, and you get interrogated or kicked out within 5 minutes of being in there. Which is particularly on the students cause some of them don't know how to act.Some teachers are great, however most suck because there's so many students to just one teacher. Plus half the teachers I had were just permanent subs who didn't know anything about the subject.In my opinion CTE courses have the most one on one time with students due to there being smaller classes and more hands on experience. I took barbering, which I enjoyed fully thanks to the teacher there, she's absolutely lovely as long as you follow expectations which isn't hard. She works with you and more often than not will absolutely bend over backwards for everyone.I rarely ever saw the special education classes but when I did they seemed happy, normally I'd see them during my lunch or when I was running a task for a teacher. They love to wave at everyone and the teachers have lots of patience. But I'm only speaking from the few minutes I'd see.Transportation is the main issue, no communication was given. Even the stupid bus app rarely worked. There's always been 3-5 busses that never show up on time and it was ridiculous that they expect you to get from across campus and to your bus within 7 minutes. Normally I'd say it's not too difficult but the halls are always crowded, doors rarely open, and sometimes you have to walk around the bus lot, looking between every bus just to see if you can find yours.Not to mention I've had my morning bus be late several times, which isn't usually a big deal, till it's 2 hours late when it's literally 27°f outside. Or when testing is going on and you absolutely need to be at your class on time or you won't be allowed to take the test. Even if your bus is late and you're lucky enough to have someone who can drive you to school you're screwed because they still will make you tardy or unexcused absence.Their system is designed for you to fail. If you get sick? Well you better still come to class because a doctors note means nothing. You're literally vomiting everywhere and can barely walk to the bathroom? Welp guess you'll just have to take an absent and take zeros for the assignments you'll inevitably not be able to do because canvas doesn't work on home computers anymore.

I HATE THIS SCHOOL WITH A PASSION DON'T COME HERE EVER THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE< THEY BULLY PEOPLE,AND THEY JUST TALK ABOUT PEOPLE FOR NO REASON I WISH I NEVER CAME TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE RUINED MY LIFE THE THREE YEARS I HAVE BEEN HERE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU WELL BEING AND THEY DON'T LIKE TO SEE YOU HAPPY,THIS SCHOOL IS A DISASTER ADMIN DOESN'T EVEN MAKE THINGS BETTER THEY ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION THAT THEY LIE AND SAY THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS BUT THEY NEVER DO, THEY LET PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THINGS JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THEY CAN AND ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE,SO YOU GUYS IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN DON'T ENROLL THEM INTO THIS SCHOOL.

My children have attended this school for 3 years and overall it has been a good experience. The teachers are informative and have kept me in the loop every step of the way. I have had very few disagreements with the teachers and staff. They listen to my concerns. My children have enjoyed their time here.

My son is currently a sophomore SandHoke early college high school. He is a very smart kid & pretty good student who ALWAYS completes his work although at times not to his greatest ability. Now, at this school he has flourished, he had grown in maturity as well as academically. While he still doesn't LOVE going to school (what teen does) he doesn't want to miss a day. He comes home telling me all that he has learned and has a new eagerness to learn. He has 2 college classes he has just started and I can just see the pride he has when he tells people he is taking college courses and will graduate with a diploma & an Associates degree. Unfortunately, we have just found out that we will be relocating VERY soon to another area with a poor school system. As heartbreaking as this is we may consider having our son stay behind with family because he loves his school. So, as rambling as the review may be just know this...my family would highly recommend this school. Im just sad that my soon to be middle schooler will be missing out on this opportunity.
