There is no structure when it comes to student discipline or keeping a safe environment for the students when it comes to bullying, harassment, discrimination, etc. The safety of students highly impacts the academic engagement of a student and with the school turning a blind eye to important matters like this highly affects our students and this safety concern comes from the behavior of students and even the staff themselves and nothing is done. What a shame to have such a beautiful school and city have such poor learning environments for our children.

It seems unless you are star student or an athlete, you are lost in a mix. School is more focused on nonsense rather than teaching and my child has learned practically nothing. One of the band teachers tries to make students state their pronouns and actually said that she wanted to focus on composers besides "white men". How about we stop bringing race into everything and focus on TALENT. There is absolutely no reason to bring racial divide into my child's education, nor is there any reason to focus on someone's sexuality. My child has since dropped band because he didn't feel comfortable with some of the things she was saying. Most of the other teachers seemed OK. The student parking area is trash, so many potholes and we have to pay a yearly fee for them to park there! For a district that has this much of a tax base, how are they spending their money when always talking about budget cuts, cutting extra-curriculars and teachers and staff. And now they want to build an entirely new high school?! No dude, fix the one you have and stop trying to raise our taxes. We are taxed enough in this state already!

Teachers are extremely knowledgeable and caring. Parents are very involved with many volunteers. There is also a great partnership with the local colleges whose students are volunteering at the school daily.
