I went to school here back in twenty eighteen, and I can tell you that everything they taught me did not set me up to succeed in the world we are in today. One of the things they always told us is if you go to college, you will be able to get a job and succeed, what they didn't prepare me for was that not happening, they didn't prepare me for the emotional trauma. I would go through having thousands of dollars of debt over my head and the inability to work in the field that I got a degree. And they don't really tell you about the other options. There are. I didn't know that there's places you can go to for apprenticeships, I didn't know that there's jobs that are more lucrative outside of a college degree. If I did, I wouldn't have gone close to $40000 in debt for a degree that I probably won't be able to use in my lifetime. I really wish I could say something better about the school. But at the end of the day, I was just another number to them. It took me a long time to realize how little I was prepared for the real world.

This school really fell off. The two years I attended this school were horrible, students who destroy school property for fun and love to get violent. The principle had to make multiple announcements in the beginning of the year on fighting and its consequences. With that they "banned" self defense, meaning if a student got into a fight then the victim couldn't protect themselves. Teachers were great and really connected with students but many of them are leaving as of 2025. I really hope this school gets better. From what I heard, both principles are leaving to different schools so maybe it will be better for incoming and existing students.

Our child has ADHD and we had to fight tooth and nail to get the school to help at all. And once on a 504 plan, the school still kept writing him up instead of finding the true source of the problem. Lots of bullying and no discussion about it to students and/or parents.
