Great school with advanced studies, newer building then surrounding high schools.

While the teachers are phenomenal at this school the new administration is not. Unfortunately, as a result, many teachers are choosing to leave the school at the end of this year. It’s sad to see a school that was amazing two years ago sink to such a low level. When 20+ employees decide to leave something is definitely wrong.

This school has a terrible reputation of bullying and what is worse is that the staff does nothing to stop it. My child was bullied non-stop everyday for weeks and let his teachers and administrators know and nothing was done until one day he had enough and punched his bully repeatedly. It is only then that staff decided to step in and take appropriate action. My child was suspended and law enforcement was even called, He was mandated by the juvenile and domestic relations district court to take classes for his actions and had all of his classes changed and signed a restraining order to keep away from his bully. My son was emotionally distraught and did not want to return to that school. As a parent I do not condone violence however, these are children 11-14 years of age who do not have the restraint to not act on emotion and are still learning how to deal with difficult situations in life. Unfortunately in this case there were 2 victims, my son and his bully. Needless to say my child has not been bullied since but this could have been prevented if appropriate action had been taken since the first complaint. Ever since the incident my child is now on "the radar" and is closely watched, I hope his bully learned from this as well. Parents, please teach your children to be kind and staff, listen when our children need you to advocate for them!
