The school is rundown and built in 1964. School has asbestos, roofs on the pods are are leaking, termites, water damage, mold. The school needs to be shut down, demolished and rebuilt.

This school is very interesting they know how to teach but it gets weird throughout the school year. One bad thing that happens and they will hold it against you. There is a lot of teachers you can talk to, but not many in the office I wouldn’t trust a lot of them. But overall this school is decent.

I had to come up with a plan B two months into my son’s first school year at this school. The teacher’s don’t care to teach, students smoke pot on school grounds, and they have the biggest banner in front of the school claiming they are a drug free campus, when I mentioned this to the assistant principal, she says to me oh they all smoke, trying to say it’s not a big deal. My son doesn’t smoke, and with full knowledge and acceptance of drugs on their campus, they shouldn’t advance to being drug free. During the meeting I had, we kept getting interrupted bey different people, and it appears each teacher has 20 different tasks other than just teaching, and a main concern to them is keeping up with the kids that have a DCF flag on their file. Trying to figure out where the kid is, when the last time the kid was seen that day and such. I learned all this while in this meeting since everything but my meeting occurred during my time there. I ended up withdrawing my son from that school that very day. They are not very concerned with what happens around the school and the kids leaving early to gather in street corners to host bare knuckle fighting fight club, I saw it with my own eyes, when I brought this up, she tells me that’s not on them. But the kids are leaving school grounds early to do this. If you go and have a meeting with them, they will be overbearing and won’t take responsibility for what goes on in that school. The way they do things is very discouraging to students that want to be in a classroom to learn. Very dissatisfied. I was glad to have a kid that will communicate with me openly and we were able to find a way to make the school experience better. It required a withdrawal from this school and find alternatives on the fly, but it’s a much better fit.
