It's quite a good school. Definitely worth it for all the resources they have available and overall diversity of thought. Many different students from a wide variety of backgrounds and ability to cater to practically any interests through involvement. It can be easy if you want it to be, and it can be challenging if you want it to be. You can really focus on your areas of interest and the freedom students can be given it very nice. The principal is friendly as is most of the rest of the faculty. Some teachers can be notably unreasonably annyoing but for the most part they're friendly and helpful.

As a former employee of this school, I cannot give a positive review. There are many challenges with the students and not enough support. The main issues are behavioral. It is challenging to teach when you are constantly interrupted by sometimes violent outbursts from students. While the principal is kind, they do not give a full description of the students and the challenges that will be faced each day.

Listen to the podcast “Nice White Parents” and that will tell you just about everything you need to know about how this school handles diversity. Racism and bigotry are rampant and individual teachers will correct the students, but the offending kids are never punished, yet my daughter was reprimanded by the assistant principal for calling someone a racist because it made the other girl cry.

This school has pros and cons. This is surprisingly a really diverse school (nothing is wrong with that) and has some very good clubs and activities. Aside from its pros like every school, it has its lists of cons. One thing the school can really improve on is their punishments, they use a system called an “RP” to punish bad kids (which makes you miss either lunch or recess) Which does not really give the students a harsh punishment because the same kids keep getting them over and over again. I suggest that instead of the “RP” system they make the students do something more affective like clean the school kitchen, or help clean the classrooms instead of recess. Another problem I would like to note is the dating, lots of kids in this school make out and have secret social media accounts which ship students with each other. The school also needs a better job of teaching the kids respect and discipline, I am constantly hearing about fights in this school and kids cussing in the hallways. I also am constantly encountering groups of disrespectful girls that laugh at me and talk about me behind my back. The school will probably not listen to this feedback but I will update this review if they consider it.
