I’m writing this for families who are trying to understand what this school is really like beyond the surface.My concerns at this school is the lack of a strong, visible leadership. Over years of time, ongoing issues related to communication, student behavior, and overall school climate continue without clear direction or consistent follow-through. The leadership is often presented as friendly, but transparency is limited and difficult to get when concerns are raised.There are also serious concerns regarding support for IST and ESE students (For two years currently). These students do not always appear to receive consistent instruction from certified teachers, which raises questions about the quality and equity of education being provided.Staff also appear to be unsupported, which directly impacts the classroom environment and student experience. When teachers and support staff are not backed by leadership, it becomes difficult to maintain consistency and accountability.School administrators put a stronger emphasis on attendance and test performance metrics over the overall well-being and individual educational needs of students.We should be asking about the effectiveness of leadership under Principal Reanna Boardway. When issues continue without resolution or transparency, it becomes difficult to trust that meaningful change is happening.Families deserve a school where leadership is proactive, communicative, and present. That standard does not consistently seem to be met here and is on a steep decline. I hope this brings awareness and encourages real improvement moving forward.

We did not have a positive experience. I have an older child who was an excellent student but graduated many years ago. His experience was far different with a higher caliber of teachers. My middle child struggles but is not a behavior problem so she never got the help she needed. I will not send my youngest there. I feel like her teachers provided busy work, were frequently absent, didn't try build relationships, keep up with grading or keep parents informed. This was especially true in the English and Math departments. The English Department where there has been a revolving door of teachers over the past few years. Do yourself a favor and get a zone waiver.

My daughter was assaulted during school, I was not informed until she told me when she got home. The only time they told me about it, was when I had called and complained. The kid who assaulted my daughter was only given the minimum punishment!!
