As a parent, I’m honestly very frustrated with this school. Since the new administration took over, everything seems to revolve around state testing instead of what kids actually need. It feels like constant test prep, and real learning and support have taken a back seat.What’s even more concerning is that if a child has additional needs, it doesn’t feel like those needs are actually being met. The support just isn’t consistent, and that’s not okay.I’ve also seen a clear negative change in my child’s mental and emotional well-being, and that’s a huge red flag for me. School should not be this stressful for kids.At this point, I would not recommend this school to other families and am planning to pull my child out.Don’t send your kid here. Honestly.

If you can't keep straight As, look else where. You either make it, or you don't. They would rather stick you in with the disabled kids (not downing disabled kids) than actually help you catch up with people.

Hello, I was a student here for my entire time as both a 6th grader and a 7th grader (2024-2026.) If you are a parent, stay and read, because this is a genuine review as a former student with now going into Sylvan Hills Junior High School.If your child is any of the following: overweight, nerdy or geeky, unattractive, without a parent, has mental disorders like Autism or Schizophrenia, part of LGBTQIA+, or “abnormal” in ANY way, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. It will be HELL.As for the average experience for ANY kid, here’s how it usually goes. Fights happen at least five times a month, your kid will be teased or picked on relentlessly, the administration sometimes will damage personal belongings like headphones or an actual phone, students are always racist towards anyone who might not be black or a POC, etcetera. My older sister went here for her own middle school years. If I recall correctly, she was tremendously bullied because of one thing: being overweight. She was allowed to stay home as long as she needed for her mental health, but nothing was done to punish the kids who made her time there miserable.My friend my age went here for her middle school years as well. She has Autism and Schizophrenia—-because of this, she was constantly teased and overstimulated because of the kids. She was miserable.Please, I beg you, do NOT send your kid here, for their own sake. Thank you.
