My child attended all 4 years of high school here. Almost every single teacher went above and beyond to assure he was successful. Administration listened to concerns and supported students and parents. I made sure I was involved in school activities and events that were offered (and there are several, including a PTO... even though parental involvement is low, they keep trying). Most classes were challenging and required time outside of the classroom. Parent are well informed of activities and child attendance and grades. I used the parent access to the grades to be able to see my child's grades at all times. Class sizes can be very big, but they do what they can to try to fix that until the district decides to build another school to accommodate the number of students. Overall, if you choose to be involved in your child's education, this is a great school.

The school wants to scare you into doing what you’re supposed to, rather than wanting you to do so. They often have staff or teacher that give up on students once they’ve gone wrong, rather than wanting to see the child’s perspective first. I do think it is ill to leave the child scared of wanting to try new things. As for their safety, I’ve heard multiple times students getting into fights over small things as little as throwing water. I’ve heard a large amount of bullying, and insults thrown where they go. This doesn’t stop, no adult was aware of these continuous cycles?

I think this is a great school for my kids. They really enjoy attending school every day because they say the teachers really help them when they need help. As a mother of thee kids I've seen the improvement in my daughters in the past three years they have attending Tierra Del Sol.
