The PTA got big grants this year to fund fun science experiments and school dances. My kid feels safe and happy at this school.

We just moved here and my 2 daughters say the students are very rude to the teaches and the playgrounds slide is broken and they’re not allowed to use it. The after school program not sure if they help with homework because my child comes home everyday without homework done. A few minor adjustments can turn this around but definitely not happy with the way the school handles things so far.

I wouldnt send my child here if it was the last school on earth. (my page reloaded after 2000 letters so I have to start over, worth it to me to get the message out about this awfully managed school). Starting with Van Sant, the vice principal. I skipped class once at the end of the school year, probably because I wasnt learning much anyways (not because I am not engaged in learning, but because classes move so slowly), he found me with my friends on the baseball field. Took us to the office, made micro aggressions assuming that I was a bad student all the time, and probably didnt learn anything. Mind you I have a 4.2 GPA and am double majoring in history and political science in the fall, some students at this school can’t write a simple sentence. Back to the skipping class story, a few days later, a teacher tells me that another teacher told them that van sant told them I was skipping class with a boy kissing and he caught us. That is a completely untrue and fabricated story. I have pictures of me and my friends running around on the field, no boys in sight. I don’t understand why the vice principal is gossiping about students, especially if what he’s saying is untrue. Next the education, the teachers are good, I didn’t have one teacher I didn’t like or who was bad at teaching. I would say classes move very slowly and there is no workload at all, I never had any work to take home. My entire sophomore year I didn’t get one essay assignment. If you want your student to learn to write coherently, do not send them here. My educated assumption is that teachers know the students will not write more than a decent paragraph, most writing assignments were 3-5 sentences. They dont want to write 3 sentences, but they will. This leaves no room for students to improve. INORITA AGUILAR, the school secretary. Not professional at all. As the person who picks up the phone when calling the school, and the first face you see when you walk into the office you would think she’d be nice or have some type of customer service skill but you’d unfortunately be wrong. Interacting with her is dreadful, since she’s so skilled at cutting you off, and when you call, she might get into a full conversation with someone else without telling you or putting you on hold. I have no idea where they got her from but she needs to go. Not enough room to write about the powertripping hall monitors. Once had detention for being late to class and got reamed for no reason. Awful administration.
