This is by far, the most horrible school I have ever encountered. The faculty and staff are not in communication with one another and never know what is going on, who to even refer me to when there is an issue. Do not count on them doing anything that they are actually required to do, such as fixing attendance when you bring in Doctors notes, etc. This school is practically a place to just go and buy drugs and do them. There are fights nearly everyday. Half of the teachers are uncertified, and just spend the day at their desk, while instructing the children to do their work online.The teachers do not care if your children do not do the work, as they are allowed to listen to music, play on their phones, and sleep in class. They will send your child home for wearing a hoodie in the middle of winter (while in the schools policy book it clearly states that they are allowed to wear any kind of jacket as long as it's not red or blue (because, I guess the students here also think they are in gangs!) My daughter was always an honor roll. To make matters even worse, I decided to remove her from this school and put her in another school in another city. It took the staff at ESJ ONE MONTH to get her transcripts sent over because they principal did not enter her grades into the system when the school board asked her to do so. Finally I had to make several in person visits to the school, demanding they send the transcript (all the while they tell me over the phone to not come in, that they will get it handled! Now my daughter has had to start and you semester a month behind and does not know any of the work at the new school! She is now in danger of failing ALL classes for this semester!
