This school is just not good. I have witnessed bullying happen multiple times, yet all the staff and teachers say there’s not bullying at this school. I have been called the n word multiple times and to be honest showing up to this school just becomes draining after a bit. I would genuinely beg my mom to stay home because I DID NOT want to go. The counselors are nice but don’t help at all. We always get served the same food and it got to point I just stopped eating lunch. The only perk about this school is that there’s recess, or team time. But they aren’t required to give it to us so they can take it away any time.

This school is one of the few in the area that is not overcrowded and capped, or maxed out at 100% capacity. The student/teacher ratio is fantastic. I know my kids are getting the attention they need from their teachers. And the carpool line is almost always short! Additionally, the teachers and staff at this school are incredibly supportive and work with kids from where they are at. My daughter has received CCR pull-out and other services under her IEP to meet her needs, while my son has thrived in AIG pull-out for Math and EL.I highly recommend this school!

I am a current student at Green Level High School, and I would strongly urge any parent considering this school to proceed with caution, especially families of non-white students. During my time here, I have witnessed and experienced what I believe to be clear patterns of racial bias. Asian, Black, and Hispanic students are often treated unfairly, while white students appear to receive favoritism. Some teachers openly display this bias in their interactions, grading, and disciplinary decisions.Even more concerning is the behavior of certain staff members who, instead of supporting students, engage in gossip and rumor-spreading about students they don't like. When a teacher dislikes a student, it can escalate into multiple teachers, who are their friends, treating that student negatively, sometimes based on rumors that are shared not only among staff but also with students. This creates a hostile and uncomfortable environment that no student should have to deal with.I and several other students have tried raising concerns, including bringing them to the principal, Ms. Summers. Unfortunately, these concerns have not been taken seriously. In my experience, the administration seems more focused on maintaining the school’s image, especially in relation to district performance and athletics, than addressing serious issues affecting students’ well-being.The school’s high academic ratings are also misleading. There have been ongoing practices where students are given significant guidance on test content beforehand, which inflates performance metrics. This calls into question the validity of the school’s reported success.Overall, while the school may appear strong on paper, my experience suggests deeper issues with fairness, integrity, and leadership. I believe parents deserve to be aware of these concerns before making a decision.
