Rude,entitled, over controlling teachers. No one cares about bullying although they say they do. Too much homework for the grade without the child understanding the work.

This school is probably one of the worst schools in the Northern Dayton area. For one, a good chunk of teachers are straight out of college and usually leave after 3 years; to get a better job at a better school. This leads to hit and miss teachers, on how effective they are. While I was there, there were literally 5 principles over a term of 4 years. Also, they don’t prep students to get accepted into college as they only have 4 AP classes, as they opted to go mostly with college credit plus classes. Bullying is literally a joke to them until something bad happens. Plus, the community doesn’t support the school district at all, they haven’t voted for a tax increase for over a decade, and the people who can have their kids attend other schools outside the district do instead. The school is essentially a feeder for the local factories, the school even has a program for it and they call it work force.
