This school is honestly one of my worst experience ever. The principal is HORRIBLE. She do not care about these students academically. They will blow your phone completely up if your child is absent 1 day but in order to find out your child is falling behind in class you wouldn’t find out until parent teacher conference. The students get rewarded based off attendance and not their work performance in class. She holds her title as Principal over every one of her staff members heads. If your child have an Iep pleaseee please please don't send them here. They have no structure what so ever. This school is a big daycare. You have to pray your lucky enough to get one of the teachers who actually care about their students learning and trust me, ITS VERY FEW OF THEM! The principle hides in her office when a parent comes to the school and wants to meet with her. Its honestly nothing at this school to make the students WANT to be here. The list goes on and on. I can go on for days. To sum this all up. DO NOT PUT YOUR KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL. If all of us parents speak up we can make a change seriously. Start by getting the principal, assistant principal, and half the staff out of there asap. I cant speak for everyone but I’ll be at the board of ed everyday starting tomorrow until something is done. I’ll be emailing and contacting EVERYONE. MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD !!!!!

The school’s climate and overall leadership have significantly declined during the principal’s approximately four years of administration. There are serious ongoing concerns regarding student supervision, staff accountability, and the overall safety and well-being of students within the building.Middle school students are frequently observed running through the hallways in an unsafe manner, often nearly colliding with students, staff, and visitors. There appears to be little consistent enforcement of behavioral expectations or school safety procedures. In addition, students are often openly disrespectful toward teachers without meaningful consequences or administrative intervention. There are also concerns regarding the lack of appropriate boundaries between middle school and high school students, with fraternization occurring without adequate supervision or corrective action. This raises concerns about maintaining a safe and age-appropriate school environment.Furthermore, there have been repeated concerns regarding inappropriate interactions between male staff members and female students that do not appear to be addressed adequately by school leadership. The perception among staff and families is that these concerns are overlooked rather than thoroughly and professionally investigated. There are also significant concerns regarding special education compliance. Some students with disabilities reportedly are not consistently receiving the services and supports mandated in their IEPs, which may negatively impact both their academic progress and legal rights.Bullying continues to be a major concern within the school, with students reportedly not receiving sufficient support or protection when incidents are reported. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the effectiveness of disciplinary leadership, particularly that the dean’s role appears to focus more on monitoring staff than actively addressing student behavior and improving school culture. Overall, there is a growing perception that the school environment lacks the structure, accountability, and proactive leadership necessary to maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for all students and staff.

I do not recommend this school. At all.While there are a few good students and some teachers are great, this school has a pretty bad environment in general, with large numbers of staff and faculty members being extremely unfriendly towards the students and the school is filled to the brim with unpleasant students. The academic performance is terrible, and it is not a pleasant place to be. There are good students here, but overall, I would recommend against this school. Please avoid it if you can.
