Horrible bullying including form the staff. Bad at handling neurodivergent children. There are a few amazing teachers there who are life-changing, but many other teachers and staff with mistreat any students that do not fit the norm at the school.

This school has completely failed my kids and we have since transferred them out of the school. We have a son that has been bullied since day one at the school and he has tried to get help from the teachers multiple times. We met with the principal and all they did is move my son's classes and said that's the best they can do and he has to deal with it. Instead of confronting the kids that are bulling my son they said they didn't want to upset those kids so there's nothing they can do for him! Then just a few weeks ago a student brought a knife and other weapons to school, they had a list of kids they were going to attack (my daughter's name was on top of the list) and he even posted on social media that he was going to attack people at lunch! Luckily another parent saw this post and called the cops. The kid was caught but didn't get into trouble! They had his mom pick him up. When I asked the principal what was going to happen he told me that this kid had a right to on education and the knife he brought wasn't that big and kids bring knives to school all the time so it wasn't a big deal!! What!? Then he tried to guilt trip my daughter saying that this incident only happened because she has a big mouth! That kid was let back to school the next week and I was told if I didn't like it to move my kids out of thr school! This kid was harassing my daughter for months and trying to touch her inappropriately so much so that I had to go to the school to talk to them about it and they did nothing! The students safety is not a priority at this school all they care about is that these incidents don't make the news so they can keep a decent image. With all my kids going through this school we have delt with them for over 10 years and it was all miserable this last incident was the final straw. The only good thing at that school is Mr. Lawson my kids math teacher. He was the only one that went above and beyond to try to help my kids and the only one that took an interest in seeing them succeed. We have another young daughter that's going to be in middle school soon and we will not let her go to that school.
