As a military family it has been a struggle for my children to adapt to this school, after having transferred mid school year. From the lack of help of administration, to teachers telling me "it's not my job to catch your child up", I couldn't be more unhappy with this school. It's hard to get teachers and administration to communicate with you face to face and emails sometimes go unanswered.This school is very driven by state testing, not by the success of their students.

The staff & faculty are just flat out lazy and negligent. No care or concern for the safety of your kids. This school should not be in our neighborhood. We could’ve moved in the hood if we wanted our kids to attend a school like this!

This is an interesting environment. To start, that is a very nice facility. Mostly clean, but also doesn't consistently occupy the bathrooms with appropriate equipment to use it efficiently. Things like toilet paper, soap, the essentials. In regard to the campus and the area, it is a very safe and high alert area. There cameras work with people monitoring them VERY frequently. Even with this information, it is not five stars. This information is what got it three stars. This place lacks genuine care. What I mean by that is, teachers tend to teach to their comfortability, not to the understanding of the students. Mostly, that school pushes the Aice Program so hard that most kids don't realize that the AICE Program mainly helps kids that want to study abroad. Now don't get me wrong, there are some amazing teachers like, Mr. Ritz, the AP English language and Composition. It is more frequent to find teachers that only get the job done, not worrying about if they did the job right. As far as Administration goes, don't get me started. They make the place feel emotionally uncomfortable. Everyone, except for Mrs. Haile :), needs to do better for the sake of the students. From Dress Code to color coded bathroom rules, which are stupid, they have given students every reason to rebel against their wishes. However, the principal seems to be alright. I've rarely seen him because he is always in his office, which isn't his fault. The genuine care does not stop at the adults, it ends with the student environment. I hope that whenever you read this, the toxic energy of the students is gone. If it's not, I can't say that I didn't warn you. Make sure if you go to this school, to watch your back. Not everybody is your friend. Not everybody is friendly. If you don't watch your back, you might have to pay the cost for it later. If you don't know, now you know...
