I hated the kids, specifically my 7th grade year, the teachers and staff did nothing to help.

School prioritizes meeting government requirements over actually educating students. Students are treated less like individuals and more like livestock—forced to sit at cold, cramped metal desks while listening to teachers with oversized egos who believe they are the smartest people in the room. There seem to be only two kinds of teachers: those who think they are at the peak of their field and those who have given up, handing out packets instead of teaching.The most vulnerable students suffer the worst treatment in a “survival of the fittest” environment. Younger students are targeted, and anyone seen as “different” is bullied, publicly shamed, and pressured to conform. This bullying comes not only from students but also from teachers and other staff. Staff often forget students have lives outside of school and assume everyone has a "perfect life".

Rating 1 out of 5 We were fooled like a lot of other parents that we bought our house in the best school district. If your ok with your 4th grader not being able to write a sentence they will push them on anyway their solution your child will somehow pick things up by osmosis. We pulled out kids out and went to cyber school. Best thing ever I have spent the past year closing a three year education gap and my kids are thriving. Be warned on the tactics they pull funny how they don’t mind poor performing students opting out of state testing but won’t let your child repeat a year? The school board is out of touch outdated favors teachers unions and avoiding lawsuits. Oh and by the way they won’t tell you directly but they really believe they know how to better educate your child than you do !
