People were getting literally harassed and punched, and after telling a staff member, they said "they didn't have time to deal with this" or "I don't know what your talking about", while still getting harassed. Not to mention the fact SA here is frequent, and handled even worse by the staff. Some people had to get homeschooled just to escape getting harmed from this place. I mean hey, middle school sucks for pretty much everyone, but this is just traumatic. Not to mention dangerous in general. If you send your kid here, be sure to have them know how to defend themselves ig. Some people were fine here, but they had to hide themselves, and barely make any friends. It was quite sad to see, but at least they were safe. ):

They HEAVILY play favorites. They do not care about the safety of their students. Your child will probably be assaulted and/or bullied. You will never be informed of any violent incidents involving your child. And if you dare to try to talk to the principal and administration staff about any problems, your child will be shunned and left out of all extra curricular activities for the rest of their enrollment. Not the school year, but for every year they go here from the incident on. They will make sure to ignore all of your messages and phone calls unless police and/or the school board is involved. There are a few good teachers, but the open and blatant favoritism and different treatments from many staff, based on how much they like you and your child is irrefutable at this point and absolutely ridiculous. They make you regret standing up for the safety and fair treatment of your child. My childs current teacher is wonderful, but her kindergarten and 2nd grade teachers and the principal are terrible to work with. My child now has to spend the next 2+ years continueing to be left out of everything staff can get away with, all because I demanded action when a Violent little boy assaulted my child multiple times and nobody informed me and a teacher gave my child completely different rules from everyone else and quite literally threw away my childs personal items then ignored all my attempts to address said issues without an in-person meeting. Which of course was an obvious attempt at avoiding accountability, so I felt forced to demand a meeting. I am very disappointed in this school. I do not feel safe leaving my child here knowing they can get punched in the throat and no staff will bother to call me. They dont even have the decency to lie and say there's no room in the extra curricular activities either, they just completely ignore all my messages and calls. They have successfully made a child scared to reach out when being bullied, because they know staff will intentionally leave them out of activities for no reason other than spite. They let the children who constantly bully and assault others (KHALEESI and her buttwipe parents) into any extra curricular activities they want to. But if your child is their victim, your child will be left out.If you have a choice to send your child here or another elementary school, the other one is probably safer and wont leave your child out if you have any issues that need to be addressed with staff
