The classes are good enough, you learn what's needed and have many resources to ensure that you pass all classes. The teachers are, for the most part, involved and caring. There are some that only have the goal of passing students, pushing them to the next grade regardless of if they turned in a single paper all year, but that is expected in any public school. However, the counselor system is less than helpful. I am a recent graduate, and struggled with mental issues throughout my 4 years. While that is not the school's fault, many teachers cared more to listen to my struggles than the counselors did. I learned by my second year that if you had an issue, you had better luck going to your favorite teacher. I was told by my counselor that she was here to help with school issues, to fix schedules and make sure everyone passed their classes, not for personal issues. She told me she was not "qualified" to help me with the struggles I had, which were not at all extreme. Many people I know had similar experiences with their own counselors. They push mental health in that school all year, through lessons, advisory meetings, etc., saying if you need help to not hesitate and go to the counselors. But when you go, you are met with someone who is supposedly "not qualified" and get turned away after 10 minutes in their office. Why are they there if they cannot handle part of the job description?

The worst experience. This school was not really for my son. My son got bullied. They did try to help but still he was not really looked at as capable by teachers. The class teacher at the time was also very cold and lack empathy. He was the youngest in the class and couldn’t read at the level. The pressure on parents to get my kid to read and spell was unreal when the teaching in classroom was so basic. Thankfully, we found another school that is more suitable, even though a lot of schools in the area have closed.

I really love this school BUT I just have 1 thing to addres.I love the Orquestra teacher and she is great at teaching, I learned a lot from her and without her, I wouldn’t be in Chamber Orquestra. I just wish the Orquestra program at the school could get funded a little more. We need a bigger room because I feel that everyone is cramped in the tiny room they gave us. I am feeling that the district thinks that Orquestra is just a little side elective with little instruments and that we don’t need more room, WE DO and I just wish they could fix that. Thanks
