The schools building is very new but students don’t really want to come there same as me. the learning is not very good It is a little too hard for me maybe not for you so that’s not for sure. Teachers are OK some amazing some are horrible emotional support is OK. There is a school counselor to help you and it is handled pretty well. Special education is very good. If Students have special needs they go to small classes but because in the middle of the day, they switch to big classes it can feel overwhelming. I had some concerns about safety with some bullying going around and kids using hands it is usually handled, but not always fair. about family Engagement Some people can feel left out because the school is very big and if you don’t have any friends, people can make fun of you. The school has tons of homework pressure so you can expect about 2+ hours a day overall the school is: below average-Average

Some teachers are good, but the overall approach allows kids to fall behind. Lack of effective support for learning differences. Lack of transparency: The school pretends everything is all right even when the kid needs extra help. They do not have the kid’s interest as priority. The school was not a partner of ours in providing our kid’s best education and support. The principal is inadequate.

This school loves to tell parents how highly rated they are, but in the end they just love to talk. They set up the building like a mini college campus causing irritation and confusion. Need a text book for a class, head to the bookstore only to pay $250 for one class, $200 for another, $160 for another all in addition to the digital text book costs that they charge. Bullying is an issue that they don't care about. Safety is simply theater where they have dogs roaming the halls looking for weapons and random searches. When students as for help from a teacher, many teachers brush the kids aside and tell them to see the tutor while they tell parents they are there for the kids. Special Ed is a joke where they dictate to parents what they will do. Admin is overpaid and underworked. Highly disappointed and do not recommend.

I can't blame the school itself for having such horrible students, but oh my it is horrendous. The type of children who attend this school act as if they are straight out of a cliquey movie. Most teachers are good, but there are plenty that are incapable of teaching. Shoutout Chris Kean and Julia Kapelnikova for being fantastic teachers who actually know how to teach! Lindsey Choy on the other-hand, loves to give out busy work that does not help learning in any way. I had her for US History last year, and it was a painful experience.
