Special education program seems to be thorough and supportive.

From the little time we've been here, it does seem like the teacher my daughter has cares. I've talked to the principal a couple times and she seems like she wants to help. I do feel like they could do more for this school but it's the district in whole. I wouldn't put a low score for this school because even the Middle School my son goes to puts in this effort. I think they need more support. It seems like it lacks community so they have to work with what they have. I do have to say I'm not from this area.... so I might be used to something different. At our old schools when I dropped my kids off in the morning staff or teachers and the principal would be there. Greeting them as they walk in. Making sure the buses are able to pull in okay. Making sure that people aren't being irate, kids aren't getting run over. Their day didn't start when the bell rung, it started as soon as the first student stepped onto their campus. But it seems like they have a pretty normal school here compared to others.

I kid you not, I was a new student, and could only stay for a SINGULAR DAY before begging my mom to switch my school because the bullying was unbearable. The staff was nice, but students here are vile. I was asked about my private areas and what gender they belonged to because I said I identified as male. By a student. In front of the teacher. For your child's safety, do not go here. On my first day, I was shoved 5 times, made fun of more than I could count, and getting my schedule took so long I never even got to see my 1st or 2nd hour. The staff is nice, but that is not a good price to pay for the kids here. The teachers honestly just seem powerless and like they've given up. The students are unbearably loud, don't listen, and as I experienced my first day, I learned not a single thing because the teachers just.... Gave up. That wasn't a classroom. That was a hangout, overrun by students with teachers too scared to take authority properly.
