My 4 kids have all gone to this school. They always love there teachers there but the new principles always seem to be the problem. The inexperienced principles change all the time and run the good teachers off who always stayed before. Miss Anderson, miss wyly, Mr Moreno and miss carillo keep my kids excited because they know those teachers will always be there even if others don't come back after the summer. Now we hearr Dessau might close down like it was going to 3 years ago. I am so glad these teachers stayed when the other ones left. The principle now needs a lot of work but her male assistent really helps a lot. I expect next year will be the last of this school so at least my kids still there can count on the teachers they love still there

This school is disgusting. Kids Swear at teachers and get away with it completely and higher staff do nothing about it only say they will. they brag about how fights have decreased in the year? while grades are dropping. The passing rates are basically all below 0. Kids are very frequently bullied and nothing is done. People are not welcome and racism is everywhere including sexism. Kids are jumped and a girls braids were ripped out, even federal charges against students aren't unheard of, and kids having ankle monitors?? School is also very run down and nasty. smells.

I will caveat this to say that I'm a parent one graduated student and one sophomore and both were involved in both band and sports as well as advanced and AP courses, so that will most definitely make a difference! The teachers for these activities do seem to care and participate much more than they do at the more basic levels which is a shame, but the student involvement is higher there too. The sports teams and band do exceptionally well, considering this school has not been open all that long. The principal is horrible, so steer clear of her if you can. The safety comments are misplaced too - there are incidents at every single school and they're taken seriously here too. Join PTA. Have your kids join band, sports, and/or activities - high school would be tragic without that just about anywhere.
