PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD INTO THIS SCHOOL, why you may ask. The teachers are illiterate to teaching their students properly. And are more focused on drama and talking to other teachers. Along with allowing the students to racially profile other students. For example my little brother was told as I quote “ Oh you have you big lips and breath stinks Oh that’s why you’re a bum”. By one his female classmates, when he tried to defend himself from the little girl she went up to the teacher and lied to them making him get sent to the back table in the classroom. The teacher proceeded to email the principal ( Principal Meekins) when he got to their office he reprimanded. Then suspended without even hearing his side of the story while the little girl got to go back to class without worry. This is not the first incident with this little girl lying about him. Truth be told a transfer will be considered for a better middle school for him because of the continuous incidents.

My personal experience with this school was really bad unfortunately. I’m currently a senior right now. But all the things I went threw happened when I was a freshman. And I’m now in virtual homeschooled. 1.) The school is extremely overpopulated and it’s hard to quickly evaluate the building in emergency situations.2.) My whole freshman year I didn’t do any work I sat in class on my phone all day because when ever the teacher would try to start a lesson the students would be disrespectful. So a lot of them gave up. 3.) I feel like a lot of the staff don’t care about the student or their well being. It’s disorganized.4.) Bullying and fighting happen all the time. Kids are aggressive and I’ve noticed how to security guards take there time breaking up fights. 5.) They locked the bathroom to prevent student from skipping class in them even tho that didn’t help at all. 6.) Good luck trying to get on the bus because there’s not enough room for them. And the secretaries get an attitude when you tell them that you need a ride home. 7.) And none of the staff will listen or even try to positively change some things in that school. The book we learn in are out of date and scribbled in. They just don’t care. They don’t. It’s all about the money for them I can tell. And there probably never gonna change unfortunately. I wouldn’t recommend having your kids go to this school. Or at least trying out homeschooling instead. Especially if your kid suffers from anxiety, or other mental health. They don’t accommodate well for kids with special needs. They wouldn’t let me leave to go to a break room when I was about to have a panic attack. Even tho it’s stated on my IEP that I can leave the classroom to go to a break room when every I feel uncomfortable.
