Honestly, it’s not that bad. Everybody says it is but it’s not as bad as most schools. Definetly not as bad as beckwith middle school so glad I’m out of there. Anyways it’s mediocre it’s no awesome private school but it’s one of the better public schools I’d say. There’s a wide range of sports and activities as well as academic and elective classes. Some teachers give out too much work while others give out none. The homework they give is usually pointless. Honors classes depend on teachers some are like you’re in honors you need lots of homework others are like i don’t believe in homework for honors. Most teachers will stay after to help you if you need help with something. We’re allowed to use our phones, there’s a dress code but it’s not super enforced, foods terrible but the snack shack has some good stuff like the cookies, desks are old and gross, books used to be old but now we all have our own chromebooks so most work is online, there’s lockers but nobody uses them and if you do you usually get weird looks because you’re usually a freshman. I don’t even know where my locker is tbh lol. There’s no time to use them since there’s only like 5 minutes in between classes and most of the time you’re walking all the way across the school. There’s 3 language options: spanish, portuguese, & latin. I’d say latin is the easiest. There’s lots of art and music classes. We only have to take 2 gym classes which is nice if you’re like me and don’t like gym. Theres also like carpentry, tv & radio, auto, drafting, marketing, childcare, etc. Students aren’t terrible but they aren’t great. They’re mean, they judge, and hate you for no reason just like every school. People like to act like there isn’t popularity in school but there is and it’s definitely shown. Spirit week themes this year were trash. Although the pep rally was fun. We were outside so it was freezing but that was just Covid hopefully we’ll be back inside next year. Hoco was decent, most of us thought the DJ was terrible, we were very crowded cause it was a tiny dance floor some people liked it, some didn’t.

The new administration has made a significant improvement in the overall culture and operating structure of the school. Communication from teachers and the administration are consistent and informative. My child has demonstrated that she has learned a lot over the last year and the teachers seem to tailor the teaching style based on where each student is (the best they can). For example, my child has received more challenging curriculum for topics she excels in, while also continuing to focus on those areas where she needs work. Overall, our experience as parents has been great. I’ve learned that there is a big difference between the politics that end up on the news or social media and what’s actually happening at the schools.

If you care about your child, especially your autistic child, avoid this school like the plague. I went here between 2006 and 2010 and I spent the whole of those four years wishing I was d*ad. Teachers couldn’t have cared less because I wasn’t human to them; none of us were. Don’t be fooled by any “services” they offer; these are the autistic version of conversion therapy. I was harassed for not playing sports, not wearing makeup, and not having a crush, among other things. Unless you want your child to leave this earth before their teenage years, KEEP THEM AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FEOM THIS TOXIC TROUGH.
