I’m heart broken that my daughter has to go to this school. It’s straight chaos. I’m not sure if they have a principal or it’s the vice principal, but she needs to go, respectfully, she does not know what she’s doing. Also, my daughters classes this year are so packed with kids that don’t speak any English, they have no idea what is going on so they distract everyone messing around and it’s so unfair to students that are trying to learn and to them because they aren’t learning that way either. Her teachers act like they don’t want to be there and helping a student is such a problem for them, the sports are coached by people who have never done the sport they are coaching, it’s a mess. Something needs to be done as a whole in this school. The education is at the bottom of the totem poll.

This school is awful. I was warned about this school being as bad as it is, and I figured I’d still give it a shot. Well I regret it. The principal takes NO action unless you actually go there, and the vice principal is no where to be found. My child has been bullied several times while getting sent home on suspension. The teachers just seem like they are to the point of “it’s not worth my time”. If you email them or try to contact the teachers about grades or missing work you will be ignored. We had a teacher that my child was showing “failing” come to find out, for almost the entire semester the teacher hadn’t input ANY of my child’s grades until literally the last day before the end of the grading period. So here I am, taking my child’s belongings away for failing, just to find out that the teacher was “failing” at inputting the grades… The entire school is a joke. It’s sad that we now have to pay a bunch of money for our children to get into a charter school due to the shortcomings of any public school system.

I sincerely and highly appreciate the teachers who have worked hard to help my child, but feel the overall policies at the school don’t address the special needs of high functioning autism. It’s like he falls through the cracks because he’s “too normal” for special needs classes, but “too different” for general Ed classes, and it’s frustrating.
