My 4 kids have all gone to this school. They always love there teachers there but the new principles always seem to be the problem. The inexperienced principles change all the time and run the good teachers off who always stayed before. Miss Anderson, miss wyly, Mr Moreno and miss carillo keep my kids excited because they know those teachers will always be there even if others don't come back after the summer. Now we hearr Dessau might close down like it was going to 3 years ago. I am so glad these teachers stayed when the other ones left. The principle now needs a lot of work but her male assistent really helps a lot. I expect next year will be the last of this school so at least my kids still there can count on the teachers they love still there

As a student from here for 3 years now, I have a claim to make on this middle school now, this school can't seem to understand how to listen both sides of the someone's story now in types of bullying now. In my 6th grade years I was friends with someone who turns out to be problematic now, you know what they did? They reported falsely me 3 times now and I didn't even have any right to speak out on it too! The principal didn't really do anything about it and she just tells me to avoid my friend away now. SHE DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE CLASS TO BE AWAY FROM THEM! Also she didn't listen to my side now which I felt like I didn't have any rights to speak out about the problem I have. Now for my 7th year, my mental health was going unstable for some time now, but I didn't go to the counselor because I felt like she going to use words that tried to helpful in someway now, but I know so well that's a lie! Also the teacher at that time were not really happy to teach any subjects now, it was mostly gloomy and not really any happy activity to do, and for my math teacher, he didn't even explain how to do the math equations that well now so I have decide to Google search most of them because I literally didn't know how to solve them rightly now. In 8th grade now the the racism, the sexism, and other types of bad things in here are never been fixed rightly and the teachers are probably deaf cuz the students keep yelling out the n-word out and they don't just hear it and this includes profanity too! Plus in times were it's very obvious that someone is just full on bullying the other person, when the bullied person stands up for their selfs, they always get in trouble now! Never in my life HAVE I SEEN SEE ANYONE NOT GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING WRONG NOW!! Do not send your children down in this school if you want them to have mental problems and all of harassment they are going to have in their 3 years in this school!

I will caveat this to say that I'm a parent one graduated student and one sophomore and both were involved in both band and sports as well as advanced and AP courses, so that will most definitely make a difference! The teachers for these activities do seem to care and participate much more than they do at the more basic levels which is a shame, but the student involvement is higher there too. The sports teams and band do exceptionally well, considering this school has not been open all that long. The principal is horrible, so steer clear of her if you can. The safety comments are misplaced too - there are incidents at every single school and they're taken seriously here too. Join PTA. Have your kids join band, sports, and/or activities - high school would be tragic without that just about anywhere.
