The worse Experience for my kids. Specially school safety, principal, parent coordinator liaison and pta are all very bias. Have certain preference for their personal friends.My children were discriminated, labeled "white kids" and allowed to be bullied... even by above mentioned "adults"

The school’s climate and overall leadership have significantly declined during the principal’s approximately four years of administration. There are serious ongoing concerns regarding student supervision, staff accountability, and the overall safety and well-being of students within the building.Middle school students are frequently observed running through the hallways in an unsafe manner, often nearly colliding with students, staff, and visitors. There appears to be little consistent enforcement of behavioral expectations or school safety procedures. In addition, students are often openly disrespectful toward teachers without meaningful consequences or administrative intervention. There are also concerns regarding the lack of appropriate boundaries between middle school and high school students, with fraternization occurring without adequate supervision or corrective action. This raises concerns about maintaining a safe and age-appropriate school environment.Furthermore, there have been repeated concerns regarding inappropriate interactions between male staff members and female students that do not appear to be addressed adequately by school leadership. The perception among staff and families is that these concerns are overlooked rather than thoroughly and professionally investigated. There are also significant concerns regarding special education compliance. Some students with disabilities reportedly are not consistently receiving the services and supports mandated in their IEPs, which may negatively impact both their academic progress and legal rights.Bullying continues to be a major concern within the school, with students reportedly not receiving sufficient support or protection when incidents are reported. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the effectiveness of disciplinary leadership, particularly that the dean’s role appears to focus more on monitoring staff than actively addressing student behavior and improving school culture. Overall, there is a growing perception that the school environment lacks the structure, accountability, and proactive leadership necessary to maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for all students and staff.

I do not recommend this school. At all.While there are a few good students and some teachers are great, this school has a pretty bad environment in general, with large numbers of staff and faculty members being extremely unfriendly towards the students and the school is filled to the brim with unpleasant students. The academic performance is terrible, and it is not a pleasant place to be. There are good students here, but overall, I would recommend against this school. Please avoid it if you can.

Excelente escuela... la recomiendo. Tiene un personal excelente
