Absolutely awful school with even worse staff. It's essentially a lawless land with children who run completely free to do as they please. Constant bullying and inappropriate behavior through the entire school and staff neglects to do anything about it except "investigate" which results in nothing being done.

It's the best in the county. My son loves going there!

I hate going to this school. I’m constantly bullied, but the teachers don’t care. I played volleyball here and I’m probably moving schools next year because of how bad the coaching was. The coaches not only allowed the bullying, but encouraged and participated in it. Our school is also falling apart. I know they’re building a new one, but that won’t be done for years. The facilities are also terrible. The middle school gym is rarely actually cleaned, and the bathrooms are disgusting. The teachers at my school also pick favorites really badly. I know this can happen everywhere, but they need to at least not rub it in everyone else’s face that that person is their favorite student, and shouldn’t let the student do the same. The “sources of strength” group is also terrible. It is apparently supposed to be a group of student leaders who represent how we should act. If we all acted like them our school would be chaotic. The teachers supposedly choose kids they feel are worthy for this, and those students are often just their favorite student(s). Also, people in sources of strength can nominate their friends to be in it. There is a girl who just came to the school at the beginning of the school year and got in within a couple of days. I’ve been trying to get in for a year and a half, since I got to middle school. These sources of strength people are literally the ones that bully others, since the teachers decided that they are better, causing them to talk down to people like me. This also applies to the “lead dog” awards at the end of every quarter. The teachers pick “model students” who get to go to A&W and get lunch. These teachers always pick their favorites. I’ve never been picked, though I have not done any wrong in my classes, have straight A’s, and participate in lessons. I’ve never even been late to class, except excused absences due to going to the doctor, dentist, etc. There is also a teacher who doesn’t care to teach the class I’m in enough to be on time. My peers and I had to wait almost fifteen minutes for her to get to class at one point. This teacher is consistently late to teach us every day. I got yelled at for asking about it. There is also way to much technology being used in a lot of classes. I have teachers that will give you a slideshow to read on the computer, or an interactive, but rarely something on paper. They only sometimes teach us face to face. This school is genuinely terrible, I can’t wait to leave.
