NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe administration dosent seem to care, the work is overwhelming, and it feels like nobody is actually trying to help. It’s like I’m just another person they’re trying to get through the day with, but no one really listens.The whole environment is draining, and I don’t feel like I belong there. It’s really starting to affect me, and I’m feeling so stuck. I can barely focus, and I don’t feel like I’m getting anything out of it. There are students who have been talking about shooting up the school killing teachers and others, but nothing is done. Kids inappropriately touch themselves and others in class but when it is reported the principle says to stop talking about it and not to tell anyone else or we will get iss this school is terrible and i wish I never went hereStudent Review1y ago
