I was 12 years old when I started to go here I didn't leave until I was 13 years old I was mentally and physically healthy but when I left from here I wasn't I was bullied every single day and my mom would come to the school to tell the teachers what was going on and they did nothing please do not bring your children here they might seem like they care now but they won't later

There is no communication with parents. They send announcements but you cannot respond to them. Teachers do not communicate about what is needed or about field trips just send medication form for field trip. PTA does not send stuff home to parents that are not apart of PTA for events happening at the school. Its May 22 and parents do not know when KINDERGARTEN graduation is. The front desk staff is rude and the records keeper just sits behind the desk and refuses to request previous schools records or medical records want parents to do everything. The EC Coordinator for IEP and 504s is dismissive and gaslight parents because the school does not want to get a one on one for non verbal children or children that social cues for protection.

Students at this school are given opportunities to decide on whether they want to 4 areas of study-Biomedical, Business, Computer Engineering or Construction Technology. There is also a Skills Pathway where students graduate with a certificate that they can use to get a job when they leave high school. The faculty and staff are dedicated to the success of all students. I will highly recommend this school.
