Wonderful little school with great faculty and community engagement

Both of my kids went to school here and we found the teachers to be caring, involved and hardworking. all my kids teachers were willing to help if they had a problem. It is a public school, if your child is not a motivated student or as a parent do not involve yourself your child can fall behind. We found the middle and high schools to be excellent. Think these ratings are too low.

My experience at the school wasn't very pleasant, in the classrooms you barley learn anything when every couple of seconds either a kid or a teacher interrupts the lessons or doesn’t let the kids with ieps leave the room especially if it’s in their iep to be honest I don’t even think they look at them, also if anything happens to you in the school like basically any type of bullying or someone gets pushed into a person they'll blame on the fact that “boys will be boys “ and not do a thing on that, or their main focus is putting up poster on vaping and locking the bathrooms like that would solve the problem i seen kids vaping in the classroom or under the stairwell or in the bathrooms outside, they also definitely dont update the grade books . They push it off until they make report cards, which kind of sucks because if you try to turn in something, they will not update your grade then you’ll have to wait until your report card comes Out also, they never really did a good job explaining the work they just expected you to do it and if I learned anything from that school, you would have a better time, teaching yourself than trying their way and it doesn’t even matter if you try to ask for help it doesn’t really work. They push it to the side and help someone else or they completely forget about you. but that’s just not it some of the staff will treat you horribly and they will definitely make a known that they don’t like you but the main issue was the school was supposed to be somewhere that you should feel supported and safe, but I never felt safe.there you constantly have to look over your shoulders. You don’t have anybody there looking out for you. you only have yourself. can’t really even trust your friends thereBut I will say the one thing that I could hopefully see that they improve The teaching in the classrooms that wants students to go to their class that wants the students to engage with what they’re learning or improve the support system in that school it would definitely make a lot of students feel safer and want to come there.
