During the four years I have been at this school, I have seen and experienced the work ethic and care of teachers that is nothing less than world-class. My counselor has become like a third parent to me, always on top of my course decisions, scholarship applications, academic resurme, and my overall wellbeing, even when she's had so many other students to take care of as well. My teachers, all of them, have been extraordinary at explaining new and complex topics in ways that allow everyone in the class to understand. I am also good friends with the principal and assistant principales, but they are in no way leniant on misbehavior and make sure the school is a safe environment that invites children to grow and learn.

I would not recommend sending your kid to this school! The homework the teachers give us isn't effective and, it's confusing. Also they only take a grade on homework for completion so, it doesn't matter if you get all the answers wrong or right. Most kids just right down whatever. Leadership at this school is not effective, to be honest, they're not really any leaders in this school. Most of the kids in this school are just rude and disrespectful. This school doesn't have strong character in it's students. The students in this school are very disrespectful but, I don't blame them because the faculty/staff are very disrespectful too. This school DOES NOT effectively deal with bullying, I told a teacher I was being bullied by a girl sitting next to me in class and I asked her twice to move me away from the bully in class and she didn't do anything about it until, my mom complained to the school. This school also has a dress code issue, this school believes girls are OBJECTS and that we will distract boys if we are wearing Shorts, Skirts, Leggings, Etc. I think that this school should teach boys self-control and that us girls are not OBJECTS and that they should teach them to keep their eyes on what they're supposed to be focusing on and, if the boy can't, they should be punished not the girl. This school should also focus more on their academics because most the kids are failing.

Good at the beginning then gradually getting worse. We had experience with bullying and stealing constantly in the last 2 years. We have now switched schools.
