This is an amazing school. They have over 20 clubs for students to be a part of outside of the school day. They have recently added a STEM lab and Maker Space for students to explore beyond the curriculum and students have an option of choosing projects they would like to do to learn more about something they are interested in. Teachers are great with students and the administrators are very supportive too. Great community school!

My children got bullied by her classmates and her gym coach . She got falsely accused of smoking in the bathroom and embarrassed her infront of the whole school she almost got jumped twice becouse of it and the school did nothing becouse of her getting falsely accused she was targeted for the rest of the school year by her teachers and teachers she had never seem before they even had a group chat where thay would talk about her and other students. On the last day of school she got to school late and when she got a pass to class she went on her way to class then stopped to use the bathroom she had just walked in when a teacher walked in and yelled at her ware was she soposed to me my daughter replied and said she just had to use the restroom she will leave and go to class and that she was sorry for the inconvenience then the teacher put her hands on my daughters shoulders and said she needed to go to the office and walked her down she said yes mam then the office suspended her on the last day of school

Being a senior at this school (at the time of writing this), the best word I can use to describe this school is confused. There's a repeating message that the staff prioritizes students' education to the fullest, but to me I only see a standard and plain amount of effort in terms of education. From what I know, there's more money spent on sports than anything. To give the staff credit though, there are many AP and honors class options to choose from, I'd say the biggest flaw here is their choice in teachers. I've had a good few teachers who were visibly unmotivated for their job, dispassionate about what they taught, and/or unwilling to help students who didn't immediately understand their lessons. I'm not sure what this school's system is for hiring, but I hope it improves to weed out these types of non-teachers. On the good side, many teachers I've had were genuine, impactful, and understanding. Props to them.In terms of safety, it's honestly alright. Fights are rare, and security and staff are always quick to break up the conflict. Safety protocols are strongly enforced, so I've never personally worried about any intruders or getting attacked by any students. That being said, I am white. Emotional support is honestly debatable depending on the person and severity of the discussion. My counselor is really kind and accommodating, but others say their counselor doesn't listen or care... mixed bag, I guess.Now, my older sister went to this same school a few years ago, she's on a part of the autism spectrum that requires her to be put into the special education system... the absolute disregard for the differences in disabled children is appalling. They bunch every single type of child with varying stims and triggers onto the same bus, into the same classroom, students who scream and talk uncontrollably paired with students who become extremely panicked and overwhelmed at sound (like my sister). Not to mention, they teach every student the SAME way with the unrealistic expectation that they'll ALL be able to participate in the workforce. Some will, some won't, depending on the job they take, but that nuance is completely thrown out the window. It really feels like the system doesn't actually care to respect disabilities; they just want more cogs for the machine. I'm not sure how much control this school has over the way special education is done, but if they have any liberty at all, they REALLY need to step it up and start accounting for differing needs.
