7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis highschool was hell for me. I was consistently bullied, and complaints fell on deaf ears! My grade had students going around school making written death threats, and when a physical paper with death threat was brought forward, the main girl involved saw no punishment, yet when I stood up to this girl and called her a name OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS, OUT OF SCHOOL GROUNDS, I was SUSPENDED for “bullying”, and lost almost a week of school right before finals week. The teachers are rude, and contribute to the bullying half of the time. When there was a mixup with my sisters IEP transferring her file from the middle school to highschool, they refused to help us, and my sister lost all of her resources she had.I would not let my kids near this school with a ten foot pole. They are a narrow minded school, who ostracizes any student who doesn’t fit their idea of a “perfect” student, because all they care about are test scores to make them look good.Other Review3y ago
