6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school, along with most of my family, and all I can tell you is that you should NOT send your kid here. if you are okay with your children being degraded by not only the other students, but staff and faculty too, then this is the school for you. they don't go into depth about school topics, leaving your children confused and then fail them because they don't understand. they will blame the students and their families for the schools' own faults, even ignoring extremely important notices for the students and parents. they DO NOT take bullying seriously, I went all three years and after a multitude of reports of bullying I dealt with firsthand, there was still nothing done at all. they have even ignored a sexual assault that happened to a dear friend of mine all because the boy who did it was popular and on the wrestling team. your kids and you will be absolutely miserable because the school itself. the teachers are rude and so are the rest of the staff, they are all so self-absorbed, they can't see the harm they are actually causing. they never notify parents about important things, like example, the buses. if they do notify, its last minute. they even made my sister sit in her own period blood all day because they wouldn't let her call our mom to ask for a spare pair of clothes, so all school day (7-8 hours.) they purposely made her sit in her own blood. they would also discriminate against students of color and even peoples sexual and gender identities.Other Review1y ago
