I have had 3 kids go through this school with different experiences. The school does not offer enough electives. They don’t offer electives for kids not going to college, without having to transfer to another school or go online.The trailer classrooms are a continuous problem, impacting safety. The county is responsible for this, but will never own it. The vestibule does not foster family engagement, in fact it’s a deterrent to keep parents out. Not the schools fault, the county made the dumb decision to install those. But it won’t feel like you are welcome in the school, you will be interacting with a camera and a machine. Drugs and vapes are a problem in the bathrooms. It is handled, but remains a concern. I do feel this school is safe and secure, despite the trailers. I do feel the principal is concerned about keeping it safe and goes the extra mile. For special education, the AP doesn’t allow for discussion, she talks to you in a way that you will agree with what she thinks is best. The teachers have been great, but the AP isn’t interested in doing what’s best for the student, when she gets involved. My students achieve, but it’s all on accommodations, which they fail to acknowledge. They won’t get that in college, so beware special ed families. The teachers have been wonderful in our experience. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place. When the district went to restorative practices, things were out of control. But I feel admin were support of progressive discipline policies and things were not as bad as at some of the other schools. I feel discipline is handled appropriately, but there is always room for improvement, especially with kids who chronically disrupt. Athletics are so so. Coaches focus on winning and forget the cost to the families-they don’t find the balance. (It’s really expensive to play here). Since it is pay to play at a public high school, I would expect better balance on play time for this that make the teams. Some of the coaches we have come across spend more time trying to be one of the kids, rather than focusing on the sport. They refuse to make changes to their lineups, even when the line ups are not working in their favor. It’s just some criticism I have seen in many of the school teams. There is no reason to build a team and not utilize your picks, other than playing favorites or catering to bad behaviors from parents or the kids.

i feel like my teachers hate me because they target me instead of focusing on others :(

No se que tipo de escuela es esta , fui el día de ayer con mi esposa a hablar con la profesora jefe de mi hijo , porque el día lunes mi hijo dice que fue golpeado por el ayudante de la profesora jefe , hablamos con la profesora jefe y ella casi defendiendo a este ayudante pero ella nisiquiera estuvo todo el día en la escuela y incluso hablé con la directora de esta escuela , dijeron que estaban de nuestro lado y hoy llega DFCS a mi casa sin previo aviso , haciendo acusaciones de que yo golpeo a mi hijo y que en la casa es el problema? Ósea voy a denunciar que mi hijo fue golpeado por un profesor y ellos quieren culparnos a nosotros? No me espero menos si siempre que voy a comer con mi hijo se nota la discriminación por mis tatuajes y por ser hispano , siempre estamos con mi esposa asistiendo a las excursiones o paseos o eventos con mis hijos y toca aguantar sus miradas como si ellos fueran perfectos , lo único que creo que se quieren cubrir entre ellos y que son unos discriminadores y encubridores.
