As a parent, watching my child go from loving band and having the best days at school to quitting band and coming home crying is something I'd never thought I'd see. My son feels very unwelcomed and decided the only thing he could do to cut down his stress was to quit the one class he loved and excelled in. What I find insane is my child only has 24 minutes to get from his class to the cafeteria, get his food in a long line of students, eat and then get to his next class while other schools have 45 minutes! It doesn't even give students a chance to socialize and adjust to all the new people. Not to mention the gym uniforms are made of a material that is beyond uncomfortable, especially for students who have sensitivity issues. To add onto that students have barely any privacy when changing in the locker rooms from other students. And to make matters worse my child came home this last Tuesday to tell me that the other students were talking about how starting fights on the busses was more beneficial than starting them at school because of lesser punishments. For example, fights on the bus result in just removal from the bus while school gets 10 days of suspension. Lastly, one of the students my child befriended said, "it only gets worse from here." I 100% do not recommend this school.

BUENA , NECESITA MAS PERSONAL QUE PUEDAN COMUNICARSE CON LOS HISPANOS

After joining this school, my child's progress stalled with the emotional insecurities that surrounded the learning environment. This place does not encourage out of box thinking or creative thought processes and made my child lose that spark in coming to school to learn.

Hope is a wonderful school that is focused on getting the students, the faculty, and test scores to improve. My daughter went there for 6th-8th grade and said she wish she didn’t have to leave. The principal is a good women with priorities that I respect.
