Teachers and administrators prioritize safety and student success. It’s a challenge engaging young adults with tedious curriculum, however, high school kids have several opportunities to attend sports or after school activities. I love and depend on the thorough parent/faculty communication. So far, it’s been a great experience as a parent.

Like many schools in underserved and underrepresented communities, federal and state resources are limited in availability for helping students reach their full potential. Teachers care deeply about the students and the students form irreplaceable bonds with each other that will carry them throughout their lives. More resources need to be directed to the school to help with tutoring, ESL and parent-involved activities the students and families can enjoy that help with reading and math.

Former Hanes kid, you might as well send your children here. Sure it’s bad but compared to other schools it’s like a coffee stain over a throw up stain, both bad, true, but one is preferred.The main issues with most schools are the students themselves. Be mindful, the media and what’s trending will affect how the students act. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN! When I was there being a jerk to everyone was common. And acting sexual was the standard. If a person looked at what was trending during my years there you’d see the trends. Also the racism was crazy, no Mexicans you cannot say the N word, no white boy you cannot call racially motivated micro aggression.The HAG program was built horribly. Sending a bunch of egotistical 12 year olds to their own sections of the school and constantly giving the praise is a great way to build narcissists. I’m not kidding, in 6th, two pods, one for regular education, and Academically gifted students, one for primarily HAG students and a few Ag. In 7th-8th they were on the entire other side of the building.The different education levels rarely interacted with each other, the only time where that could happen was during electives. By then there was a divide between students. The HAG kids were, and I say this with pure venom, all unfunny snarky jerks. So many of these kids had such big egos and would treat the different children so much worse.The HAG students also went on far more field trips than the AG students, if your child is regular ED, they’d get one (not like anyone is going in any trips this year we have no moneyyyyyy)Work wise, teachers didn’t care too much about regular ED students, I feel like somewhere in the teachers they gave up on them. AG where I was, had a good balance of work, at times it felt a bit much but teachers were happy to help. HAG, kid always complained about having too much work, I wasn’t one of them, I wouldn’t know.The schools is dirty, the property damage by students was crazy, it’s not even funny why would anyone do that? Janitors were always over worked.There are teachers who care. but they’re all tired, I didn’t blame them, some students were horrible, please stay good teachers, you guys made school moderately enjoyable.
