As a former employee and a parent myself, I cannot remain silent about what I personally witnessed during my time at this school.I was consistently praised for my work with my assigned student and for the care, patience, and dedication I brought to my position. However, my experience changed when I began speaking up about concerns that I believed affected the safety and well-being of the children entrusted to this school.I observed children being handled in ways that I felt were unnecessarily rough and inappropriate. I witnessed concerns regarding student supervision, including during fire drills conducted near busy roadways where I believed closer monitoring was needed to ensure student safety. I also observed situations where nursing staff appeared to be asleep while non-medical personnel were expected to take on responsibilities that I believed should have been handled by qualified medical professionals.As a parent, I could not sit quietly and ignore what I believed were serious concerns. Every child deserves to be protected, properly supervised, and treated with dignity and compassion.When concerns are raised, they should be investigated and addressed. In my experience, speaking up did not lead to meaningful accountability. Instead, it ultimately cost me my position.This review reflects my personal experience and observations while employed at this school. Parents deserve transparency, and children deserve better.

MCDONALD'S OF SCHOOLS! I was a former student here, and I cannot believe how messed up this school is. The teachers are mean, strict, not supportive, and ignore you getting bullied. Students don't perform well in school because of distraction. Another thing I witnessed is that teachers don't cooperate well with students, does not stop conflict, and don't even worry about students doing inappropriate things in class. In the hallways I see everyday, I always see students getting into fights, commotions, and even arguments. And when you get into a fight (even though you didn't start it), they would still suspend you for gEtTiNg InVoLvEd! If you are a parent/guardian and are looking for a school for your child, don't choose this school, it's totally messed up, your child will have a lower graduation chance.

School is a horrible school. The administration is a joke. They are just titles. They do help the kids The principal is the WORST. I can go one and on about him. He is a disgrace to education Who gave him his job? He know someone . I have emailed him and called numerous times in the last 2 years since my student has been there and still have not geo in contact with me. He pushes parents off to other people which issues don’t get resolved. Where is his leadership 12 feet under. Get rid of him. The special education is just the as bad. My child’s needs not have been met since he been there. Out there in stuff in his IEP that doesn’t benefit him. Just get rid of the whole school except Mrs. Reyes in the front office the secretary is more invested the students then counselors, principals, and teachers. Give her the job of principal. Thank you Mrs Reyes for going above and beyond for our students.
