Only had one teacher that I thought was too strict or out of touch with middle school age students. Both of my kids had a good experience.

As a former queer student that went to this school, it was horrible. The higher-ups absolutely do nothing about bullying or harassment. They WILL target you if they don’t like you. They didn’t like me because i was transgender. They do nothing about bullying or harassment, like i said. Instead of helping you, they will blame you for it. The mental health counselors will not help you. They care only about their paychecks and they’ll do everything in their power to send you to a psych ward instead of giving you help or advice. Police reports through them do nothing too. One time i was getting doxed on the internet by someone who went to the same school as me and they said nothing could be done because addresses are public information. They also throw around detentions like its candy. A classmate of mine was bullying me so i yelled at her and instead of her getting consequences, i got 10 days of detention. This is a horrible school. I beg do NOT send your children here, along with the middle school.

The experience my children had at this school was detrimental to their health and education. Bullying was extreme and administration did not handle the situation as it states they will in their policy. The counselor not only councils all the students, but is also the person responsible for making sure the bullying policy is upheld. The PTA is active, but they can’t keep other parent groups open- especially if it’s for special needs parents. In fact, they barely advertised what they did have for parents of special needs children and it would not surprise me if many parents who would need a group like that even know that it exists. It is difficult to get IEP’s. We were told by a state moderator that it may take up to 8 years to get an IEP, which doesn’t help anyone- that’s almost their whole school experience. One of my children had one teacher that was very negative, spoke to my child in a demeaning way every day and severely impacted my child’s mental health. Neither of my children wanted to go to school to the point of panic attacks, refusal to eat, not sleeping, and etc. to the point that we had to seek medical attention. Our experience with the principal was also very negative and non- supportive. There’s been changes in the school board and there’s now a new superintendent, but the previous superintendent was also very difficult to work with. Both of my children are in therapy and they bring up their feelings about what happened here often. It makes us so sad, because we wanted their experience at school to be a positive one. Unfortunately things got so bad that we had to make alternate plans for their educations.
