This is quoted from a review of this school from 2016: "We have been there 4 years, through former and new principals. I have found that kids that are high performing and popular will do fine. You will see the same kids get recognized over and over. There is no support for the average student that starts to struggle. Head in the sand is their motto. Teachers and administration seem overly focused on extreme behavior issues and offer no encouragement for average to below average students that have not acted out. They are quick to let students make decisions (not necessarily a bad thing), but do nothing to hold them accountable or encourage higher performance. Late work is perfectly acceptable (I am sure this helps the school look better) and with the exception of one class there was never repercussion. I have repeatedly asked for help for my student only to get ignored.". Here in 2026, nothing has changed. If your student is self-motivated and driven to succeed, then they will probably do just fine. And the school will have no problem riding on the coattails of that student to make themselves look good. This school has a "student-led" mantra. And if your student is lacking/failing in any way, and you as a parent reach out, you will be met with resistance, made to feel like you're a burden on the admin/staff for even reaching out. You will be called "VERY involved parents" at showing that you actually care about the well-being and success of your child. Our child had 6 Fs through an entire semester, and was allowed to do make-up work during the last two weeks of class in order to "pass". This school only cares about making their numbers look good. Nothing of substance. Again, if your student is driven, they will probably do great. But do not look to the school admin to help if your student is falling behind in any way. That's apparently too much work for them. They want to be made to look good without doing anything to actually help when it is needed.

I had a wonderful experience today. My grandson invited me to the Veteran's Day breakfast. I was overwhelmed with the way the students treated all us veterans with respect and dignity. I truly felt appreciated for my service and was delighted with the way all the students interacted with every one of us Veterans. Thank you for having us and for making my day with this great experience. Jim Brown, MSgt, USAF (Retired)

You know...this is my OG school. Im gonna love it. But I'ma also be real, some of the teachers and ehem...assistant principals single out students and pick them out of the crew for a while. Like, you get in trouble once and your getting suspended for existing. I really like the teachers though, I have a lot of trusted adults to talk to here and they help me. The mental health stuff isn't all that great but, I still love this school. The kids are mean I will admit. There are a lot of influenced kids and they don't do much good. Overall, I like it.Oh yeah and the bathroom is haunted.
