I cannot believe the level of communication this school has with parents when it really matters. I understand this high school and we’re teaching our children to be more independent but an incoming freshman coming into this school is lost and they’re very slow about getting lockers, gym lockers, delivering vital information like early outs every Monday, syllabus for every class so the students know what is expected. Not all kids remember information verbally. Some need documentation to refer back to. And if your child is a freshman trying out for sports no information is relayed to the parents about tryouts, transportation home, requirements for practice, nothing. I’m not sure if it’s the leadership or the area the school is used to interacting with but communication is VERY LIMITED here. They focus so much on bilingual communication for forms and school spirit instead of communication. This is so opposite of the schools in the northwest side of town and very disappointing. If you move to this side of town on purpose be prepared to do a lot of calling and bugging to get the information you need from them. School barely started and I have called this school more than I ever did since my child started school in kindergarten!

I never thought I'd be so disappointed in a school. The staff is lazy. They obviously have low standards when it comes to teaching. I have a bright daughter who is board at school because they teach the same thing over and over. Where is the challenge in that? I've also whitnessed bulling at the school because my daughter is white. The school staff often ignores it. My daughter should never have to come home with bruises on her legs! After this year my daughter will never come back here! I have nothing good to say about this school.

I dislike this school very much now. It was an amazing school before the new principal came and completely destroyed it and the dreams of the children that attend it
