When my kids attend this school the ratings was 8/10 because it has amazing principal ( Kathie Scoopie) , after her another principal came in and the school started to be awful each year worse than the year before until the ratings now is 3/10. The principal stands with some bullies from pta and their kids with some bullies awful teachers.

This school does not teach they ask you questions you know the answers to and will never tell you. I have only had two teachers that I have actually learned stuff from and they were elective teachers. I never had problems with academics in 6th grade but 7th and 8th grade was a whole other problem, they don’t tell you about work that’s due and they expect you to remember to do it. Also they assign multiple stuff a day without knowing other teachers are also doing that making their students stressed more than they have ever been stressed. Some students even vape in the bathrooms hoping for a better feeling then what they would feel like in this horrible environment called a classroom. Do NOT take your kids here.

I see a lot of comments talking about the bad teachers and it only applies if you take standard classes. I’m a senior right now and I’ve taken standard classes in freshmen and sophomore years and I’ve taken AP and honors classes in junior and senior years and it’s a way better experience as the teachers have way more experience teaching and they are overall well equipped for teaching. My AP and honors class teachers have been amazing as they make the classes that would’ve been otherwise boring fun and interesting and make taking higher level classes worth it. If your a parent I would strongly recommend you encourage (or just force) your kids to take honors/AP classes because they really aren’t that hard unless your taking like 3+ of them and they help kids make friends in the right groups since most people who take standard classes make friends who don’t care about school or getting good opportunities for colleges and they end up not caring themselves. Also although I just wrote about how amazing AP and honors classes are, I would recommend not taking AP lit(or any branch of English) with any other class that has a lot of homework since I heard that it has quite a bit of homework and essays.
