The administration and some staff DO NOT like children! Beware! The principal, currently 24-2025, doesn’t even talk to parents or children she’s even told office personnel to make up something so she won’t have to meet with parents. I’ve reached out on more than one occasion to meet and she dodges parents every time. She makes up violations and consequences off the top of her head. Staff make fun of kids. No consequences. To make matters worse the principal is totally supported by her supervisor who also doesn’t return calls or meeting requests. There’s so many hidden issues. Teachers are afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation from the principal. It’s disregarded like it’s no big deal.

I remember going to this school, and it was 'okay'. Thought some of the staffs were not respectful and were strict, but i haven't really seen other students get support on this journey, they were just, yelled at. Now my sister, doesn't have enough nutrition to keep awake so most of what my sister needs to do is to push her body to the absolute limits just to go to school. Yet the principal and teachers don't treat my sister with respect. They would fear monger, or even straight up threaten us if my sister doesn't go to school.(Not that skipping school is great its just that my sister doesn't get the nutritional, emotional and mental support from her teachers or pears.)The school food was okay, the students around me was amazing, and there were holidays that i enjoyed while i was in this school. But i can't support the fact that staff or teachers would treat students with disrespect. (Teachers need support to, they don't get paid enough there overworked and they don't get enough time, but i want my sister to get support from my teachers.)Would i recommend this school?Mabey not, you can come here for the holidays or slight freind making, but overall not a great school.

not a good school do not send your kid here.
