They DO NOT HELP IF YOUR CHILD has learning disabilities. They will criticize and tease them!! Yes the staff and new principal Blake

this is by far one of the worst schools i’ve ever attended. kids is disrespectful and the adults are trifling. they’ll start with you and once u blow up they’ll play victim, ive watched it happen. they’ll ignore almost half the school which is why people do what they want like smoke or skip. some of the staff is short tempered and be cursing at students (i was one of those students) and their coworkers literally will cover it up and make it seem as though the child was disrespectful first. school food is horrible, got a stomach virus after eating a PB&J. the students leave trash around like it’s a junkyard and they’ll make it seem like they’re on ur side just to discuss something different with their coworkers. while at this school there were countless moments where ive felt hopeless because they don’t help whatsoever, they’d rather blame you for reacting. i’ve also seen way too many kids skipping for a school that only uses 2 and a half floors. then on top of that they pick and choose who they want to get in trouble and who won’t get in trouble. and when fights happen it takes the security guards almost 30 minutes to get to the fight which puts teachers in a position to step aside and separate the fight which isn’t their job. way too many adults are disrespectful and slick with their mouths. there were multiple moments where they have lied to my mom and made it seem as though i was overly disrespectful when im just defending myself from being disrespected.

The kids are great and the teachers care about helping the kids to learn. Its a small school all on one floor. There is music and dance classes. Kids can get a lot of stuff from PBIS rewards and order rewards they want and need from Amazon. They have field trips that are really fun. The after school program does a lot too. Everyone is nice, would recommend.
