I am extremely disappointed with the overall experience my child had within the special needs department at this high school. During her freshman and sophomore years, I was repeatedly reassured that she was doing well academically and making appropriate progress. Looking back, I feel I was gaslighted into believing everything was on track when serious concerns were being overlooked.By her junior year, I became deeply concerned that my child was unable to read or write at even an elementary level despite years in the program. When I raised these concerns, I sought the support of an advocate because I felt my concerns were not being taken seriously. Shortly afterward, her social worker was changed, which only reinforced my belief that issues were being recognized but not openly addressed.Once an advocate became involved, I noticed that more interventions and changes were suddenly implemented. This raised concerns for me because it felt like additional support could have been provided much earlier. Unfortunately, I also felt that the pattern of minimizing concerns continued, with statements being made about what my child could supposedly do that did not match what I was seeing firsthand at home and in daily life.Between her junior and senior years, I changed her diploma path hoping it would better support her needs but later switched it back after realizing meaningful academic progress still was not occurring. I know my child is capable of learning. When information, skills, and tasks are properly presented and taught in a way that meets her needs, she absolutely can learn and grow. I have personally seen this myself.My greatest concern is that I believe she was often given minimal academic expectations and may have been allowed excessive phone or internet access rather than receiving consistent instruction and meaningful educational opportunities. I feel that valuable years of potential learning and growth were missed, and as a parent that is heartbreaking.My intention in writing this is not simply to criticize, but to bring awareness to what I believe were serious shortcomings in the support and education my child received. Families trust schools to advocate for and educate their children, especially those with special needs, and I believe more should have been done.

This school is NOT a great opportunity for kids!!! change school or homeschooling!!!! They are trying to pull the investigation, and too many police in this school. Too many problems with the teachers!!!! start a different way. Be careful with them!

Giving Thanks to the teachers and staff, let me not forget thank the office staff and the crossing guard always kind and pleasant and parents, our Vic Principal is a Great Leader, but most of all I can’t leave a review without acknowledging and giving our fierce principal, Mrs. Grant her credit. She’s always outside right there in the thick of it with all children she is the essence of a true leader I don’t know how she does it, but she know all the kids name she give every child a compliment she know each and every child strength and weaknesses, kind and patient never seen anything like Mrs. Grant.Thankfully Ms Russell
