I would not want my children at this school again, I'm sure some of the teachers can do a good job; but other employees including the principal and counselor I was not impressed with, they are more concerned with protecting their buddies than the children, was laughable in the case of my children the ineptitude and straight refusal to do the duties of their jobs, must be nice to pick and choose, unfortunately it is only the children that suffer, but hey at least they can be loyal to their friends, that they put first before the safety of the children and their professional integrity, I would advise any parent to go to that school with their eyes wide open and find out about the teachers your children have, is amazing how the Union will protect teachers who in any other profession would not have a job for being caught doing such behavior?

Schools administrators and teachers, do not have students best interest in mind when they come into this school i have observed multiple incidents of teachers belittling a student, as well as harassing a student. Students are unmotivated, and relatively unhappy compared to other schools in the area quality of life is usually poor, and teachers seem to lack the ability to connect to students rather they try to suppress a students true potential. This school could turn a happy kid with a lot of potential into a student who is unmotivated to even go to school because of teachers, and staff. The school is strict on its policies that are not usually set in high schools but rather middle school like rules. The administration, especially the principal seems to let their power over children get to their head, ive witnessed instances of the administration quite literally bullying and targetting students they don’t believe to fit their model of a good student. I would not recommend this school if there is an alternative i would weigh out the options.
