I was a student here in about 2021 before my mother and I had decided a move was in order (we left at the end of 2023). So, let me break down some of the faults of the school. So, having both ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and ADHD, I've gotten approximately..two instances of consistent 504 program related exceptions or assistance. And, because of their..honestly not the best curriculum (I mean, seriously, who thought 8 periods PER DAY with A/B days was a good idea?), I struggled. Hard. Of course, I tried to get some help, and the counselors tried, I can tell they did, but even with that, essentially nothing could be done. While, yes, I did meet my best friend in this district and such, and some other friends, in all honesty, this school has shown me time and time again that they don't take care of students slipping through the cracks. The students when I was there were very 50/50, and, while a personal experience, I actively struggled to get up in the morning because it was essentially impossible for me to catch up with everyone else on a schedule that swamps anyone who happens to work slightly slower or someone who gets lost. This all could have changed, sure, but..overall? 2/10 school. The only reason it isn't a 1 or a 0 is because the lunches were actually decent, and I liked playing golf..at least until I almost fainted from heat exhaustion..That was mostly my fault, though. Either way, I do not have good memories of this school. At least the teachers tried..usually.
