If I were able to say H** NO I wouldn't recommend this school I would gladly do so. This school is sad and lacking skills. The staff (not all) for one lack interpersonal skills. For a district to rave about black power and leadership, this school is surely doing a great job at failing the BLACK community. Its okay to rave about a black leadership but when a school system fails to do the bare minimum, why be so happy? This is a SHAME. The staff (not all) in this school are unjust. They will help the parents that they get along with and watch other parents suffer instead of lending a hand. The principal is just as worse. You are lucky if you were ever able to see her or speak with her. I am not saying that staff here is bad but they definitely don't care. Actions speak louder than words. THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED. The parent coordinators are both poor advocates and it is just so unfortunate. Luckily, something will be done. Clearly, this school is not advancing and it has so much to do with the lack of care they have for the students they "serve". I do hope for a change because the children enrolled in this school with suffer drastically without any change.

I am a current 8th grader at this school. This school shows favoritism towards all the graders besides 8th grade. 8th graders are being exiled from activities while 6th and 7th graders are getting activities we never had like a junior prom on a yacht while they are threatening to make our prom in the gym because we a small 8th grade. This school may have many programs like photography, dance, and chorus but does it really excuse the obvious favoritism. This favoritism has been going on since last year where they already didn’t like us since 6th grade but when the new 6th graders came they started to always do things for them and talk about them and compare us to them saying how we’re not like them while they were just as bad as us some could argue worse. Last month we had our senior week where we dressed up for days like pajama day they gave 7th and 6th graders those days as well because they mentioned it wasn’t fair when if we were to say that while we were in those grades we would just be disregarded and be told we deserve it. I am in student government and not to long ago a 7th grader mentioned how she wants to make more trips for 7th graders and then a 8th grader asked what about 6th and 8th grade and she said that yes to 6th grade but she said 8th graders already had a senior trip. This doesn’t make any sense because that is 1 trip and she was talking about multiple trips and also many 8th graders are upset about our senior trip because it is to six flags a place we already go to during the year for frightfest and we find it unfair that we don’t get to chose the place we want to go to for our senior trip. These are just some of my many complaints of this school that I have over these 3 years I’ve been in it for. Overall this school isn’t necessarily the worst but currently they are showing extreme favoritism and until proven otherwise I say that us 8th graders deserve
