5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is fantastic. Both the principal and vice principal are engaged not only with the kids, but the parents alike and the teachers truly care about the success of the children. Success can mean different things for each child and all involved work to identify what that means for the individual child and continue to support the needs to help him/her achieve that success. VERY PLEASED!!!Parent Review8y ago - Melvin H Kreps School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student who just graduated , I feel it’s important to speak out about the unfair treatment happening at my school. One of the biggest issues is how female students are targeted when it comes to dress code especially those with more developed bodies !!!! It’s disturbing that male teachers are often the ones enforcing these rules, which makes many girls feel uncomfortable and judged. Two students can wear the same outfit, yet only one gets dress coded based on her body type. That’s not okay. All students deserve to be treated equally, regardless of how they look.Bullying is another huge problem here. The staff rarely take it seriously, and when we do report things, they claim they’ll fix it but never actually do. It feels like our voices don’t matter. Many teachers abuse their power and treat students with disrespect. The environment isn’t supportive or safe I t’s stressful. The food in the cafeteria is also really bad, and our concerns about it are always brushed off.Lastly, the assistant principals seriously need more education on how to communicate with students. If they want respect, they should lead by example and earn it, not demand it. Overall, this school has a lot of issues that need real change, not just empty promises.Other Review8mo ago - Walter C.
