As a sophomore who has attended this school for the past 2 years, do not send you're children here unless they want to be there. I have personally been through life threatening situations and am still dealing with one of these, the administration brushes off any actual concerns. One of the many situations I previously mentioned was when another student threatened to r@pe me. A guidance consular told me it was my fault because I had rejected the student.As far as academics I am in honors math but cannot perform past an middle school math level, it's extremely frustrating. Some teachers even quit in the middle of the year for example my Spanish teacher whom we had for maybe a little less than a quarter just left and hadn't came back, nobody is allowed to tell us where he is but we are assigned work daily that is not what he was teaching us but new lessons which nobody takes the time to teach us.Bullying is very common and accepted sometimes administration will even target or show favoritism to certain students.We have a very strict dress code that doesn't even make sense as all other schools in our district are allowed to wear pink,white,black,blue,navy blue and sometimes red collared shirts plus jeans. The highschool only allows us to wear white,black and navy blue, me and one of my friends both got in trouble one day for wearing a blue shirt that was maybe two shade to light for administration (mind you my shirt was a school sponsored shirt from a coach). I have also gotten in trouble for wearing a white skirt beacuse we cannot wear white as a bottom color.Nobody here is ever on the same page.Materials are not given to students.They don't give us freedom (walking around during breaks, walking during lunch,no outside time and no phones)I have had horrible teachers and a few awesome teachers. Some teacher's say slurs and cuss while others actually care about what you're learning.Most of the time the good caring awesome teachers get fired because the school doesn't have enough funding to support them and would rather pay subs who are 10x worse than a bad teacher.I have been bullied,harassed,stalked, threatened, hurt and stolen from in this school. They do not care about you are you're students constitutional rights. They will slience you're student and kick you as a parent out of the school or dismiss you by saying there is nothing they can do.If you're child does not want to go to this school consider other options, believe them.

I’m not sure about anyone else, but my son z absolutely adores his 1st grade teacher! I my self am so great full for Ms. Cummings! She is very involved with the children and excellent at communicating with parents about anything. She doesn’t wait for the parent to reach out to her, she will take the time to get in touch to express her concerns! She will be missed greatly by my son and I, as well as many others, next year!
