My middle schooler started out at this school before we transferred. The school is so welcoming to 6th graders and helped guide my student through her first few months of attending. Great school. They have great staff to accommodate the amount of students they have attending.

My students attended this school for one year before i transferred them. The teachers were honestly great. They always helped guide my students and were very communicative and truly cared about my kids. The principal and VP were awful. They questioned students in a condescending way. They judged the students. They talked badly about the students to other staff and even kids. They made issues worse instead of helping or guiding. Suspension was their number one go to. No other option in their eyes. A substitute they hired inappropriately put their hands on my child and the principal said “we are so short staffed I cannot reprimand her” as if my child’s safety did not come first. Terrible. So glad to be out!!!

The teachers at this school wouldn't be bothered to give me the time of day, nor did they care when myself and many of my other friends often were harassed or skipped school. Our choir director mocked a few girls openly in class, and would play favourites to the point where it was obvious that if you weren't one of his favourite students, you may as well have not existed. I got away with sleeping in class for three out of my four years there, and I know many students, myself included, who could, and would, just walk out of the building. The people who were supposed to care about us didn't, unless we were blatantly having problems, and oftentimes we were told to 'not let it get to us', when these problems were contributing to our mental health. Our sex ed is laughable--one of the brightest girls in my class had a child in her freshmen year--and I learnt more from a google search. This place is not somewhere where anybody should send their children.
