I go to this school and it genuinely sucks. They literally don't punish the bullies but instead they punish the ones who stand up for themselves and I literally always get in trouble for the stupidest things. I literally got ISS for giving someone a hug. As a student that goes here I do not recommend this school. Usually they don't handle bullying until it either gets to far or you get your parents involved.

My grandson has been bullied by the same kid since he transferred there, with no action being taken against the boy until it blew up. My grandsons mother has called numerous times & I (grandmother) went to the school. Now after no action being taken & the kid hitting my grandson at first with a ball in the head on purpose and when my grandson said he told the kid to quit, the kid hit him in the head, with his fist. For the second time a friend came to his defense and ended in a physical fight. My grandson the victim got suspended for a week. They said he threw punches at the bully but will not allow us to see video and my grandson said he did not throw a punch. He has never been violent, and his friend defended him, and the bully got what he deserved (friend also suspended. I am glad he at least has good friends at the school since he is not being protected by the staff.) No teacher in the area, they were outside. This should have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently the first time it was reported, but they said they never see anything on the videos. Maybe the teachers need to be present and act. It had started in the Art Class when he first transferred to this school, the bully was poking him with a pencil. My grandson reported it to the teacher, again nothing done, so now this is where it has progressed to. I work in a school system and extremely disappointed in the lack of action. They wonder why kids harm themselves and bring weapons so school. When the school is not doing their job that is what happens. They should not be suspended for protecting themselves when they shouldn't have to in the first place.

I can not say enough great things about this school!The principal goes above and beyond for each of the students, my child has loves his teachers and they make everyone feel special!!!And brand new school is bonus Love this school !

This is definitely not the school to send your athlete to. They have repeatedly hired the same coach for football for 3 years while the football team has lost nearly every single game for 3 years. there athletics department is garbage the students want to participate the families want to participate while the coach continues to play favorites to certain players playing the same players repeatedly while continuing to lose. The coach for football needs to go coach pee wee football he needs more development and it should not be at the expense of high school players who are seeking scholarships for college. Half the team quits every year because he does not know how to use the players he has, he simply won’t play them . He has a camp every summer which he requires all players to attend all summer in order to be a starting player only for them to still be a losing team, however through no fault of their own. the district athletic director doesn’t care and clearly neither does the school. They don’t care and do not understand the impact that this has on students seeking scholarships for football. They are supposed to be there for the students all of them not just the ones they favor and it is evident that there is a great deal of bias taking place with this coach he doesn’t care about helping the entire team succeed and making the players better players he’s not there to help them grow into better players it’s just a job for him. He needs to step down.
