Mostly good people, not too many people try to start things or pick fights. Most students are very respectful to one another, most teachers are respectful towards their students but the teachers can say/do some bullying of their own with how some treat students.

This school really isn’t the best. I’m currently in 8th grade, and there have been at least 5 fights every semester. Although the teachers try their bests to break them up, it doesn’t succeed. I know a teacher that hurt her back breaking up a fight before I even was in this school. I hope she’s okay now. But overall, this school is a bit disappointing. I don’t think it’s the school, but more it’s students. I believe there should be more enforcement to change this schools students. Kids act like they are fond of their teachers, and teacher think they have relationships with said students. But those kids are actually the biggest bullies and hate those teachers. Let’s make adults more aware.

If your child is neurotypical, this is a nice school, though when you don't have money for art supplies but end the year with a $9k cushion, I'm not sure how that works out, what with maths not mathing.Otherwise, prepare to have your child belittled -- not by their teacher, but by the administration's actions. They do NOT want neurodivergent kids in this school for some reason and will do everything in their power to shove these kids off on another school outside the neighborhood, and away from that child's friend group. From what I've seen firsthand and heard from other parents of neurodivergent students, the runbook goes like this:1. Do not stick to established and agreed-upon IEP interventions. Do not offer the child alternative strategies to deal with overstimulation.2. Make sure the child knows they've been Very Bad today instead of helping them learn how to self-regulate.3. In IEP meetings, gaslight the parents and insist they've done all they can for the child.4. Insist the child just needs to go to a school with a program better suited for their needs instead of giving the child the time and attention they need in the special ed classroom, sticking with strategies that have worked in the past, and working with parents instead of against us.To be very honest, the problem is at the top. The teachers are fantastic and seem to be hamstrung by policies, and comments during IEP meetings make it very clear who in the administration is driving this. I'm speaking from personal experience, but I've heard these same experiences echoed from other parents. This isn't a one-off. This is a trend.
