Three of my children have attended this school. They have received a vastly superior education to the one I got at another school locally. I can tell by the conversations they have with me about their studies and the fact that much of what I learned at university, they have learned buy 10th grade. There are a variety of ways to access college-level courses. There are some teachers who have been better than others, but there have been none whom I have any reason to think are not capable or not acceptable for any reason. We had a bad experience with one of the sports programs a few years ago. But that is far from a deal-breaker. I actually think the school dealt with the situation, but I'm not sure. My son was injured by another student on campus last year. When I talked to the school about the incident, I feel that the assistant principle handled it in the best possible way. My kids are not special-needs. They are mixed-race. I see that great-schools has this school listed as a 5 of 10 stars. I do not completely understand how that computation is calculated, but I can't imagine a public school being much better than this one. Our family being zoned for this high school has been such a tremendous advantage for my family.

The administration has no concept of how to manage the car line for starts and their communication with parents is beyond poor. Example: Not one substantive email over the entire Summer regarding the upcoming school year and not until a week before school starts do I have to call and find out that teachers will not be assigned until thursday prior to the Monday first day of school and parents are expected to rush in that friday between 9-11 to meet their childs teacher. Nice planning. I guess they were too busy vacationing the past 3-months to bother with any semblance of preparation for the new school year. After last year's incompetence, perhaps it's no surprise.
