From a senior students POV: freshman year was good (covid year) but years following have been a downwards spiral. For the first 3 years of my time at this facility the boys bathrooms had no soap. New ridiculous policies such as the 10 10 rule (may not use the bathroom during the first or last 10 minutes of class) tardy sweeps (random event which all late students are locked out and give detention even on first offence which is served on a Tuesday or Thursday) road block aids which are not only disruptive but insulting. Passive aggressive threats from staff verbally and over announcements. Monthly to weekly fights and skirmishes. Overall increasingly hostile environment, which feels completely different from my own freshman year. While the quality of student is already low / hard to work with, the minorities greatly impact, reduce the capacity for enjoyment of life of the many. Each years bell scheduled differing from the last, seemingly designed sap away from the student as much as possible. For instance, 2023 - 2024 school years 6 minutes between classes, morning bell now starts at 7:14 opposed to 7:15 from previous years. Flex time (a total joke) no longer given choice to the students (mandatory rotation now) vast waste of time AND students are disallowed to use the bathroom during this time. Student parking lot now littered with cones and road block aids for no reason, fences and gates over walkways designed only to restrict movement. A school of almost 2,000 with only 3 bathrooms available per gender. Overall, a sad wrinkly husk of what was once a respectable school. While the undesirable youths entering the school grounds are out of the control of the school, no effort is made to fix issues, only cover up or bandaid.

Horrible. A young, new teacher was completely ill equipped to interact with a student with special needs. Her answer was to punish, embarrass and humiliate the student for his behavior, going so far as to tell him an 8 year old child after being absent one day for a doctor's visit that "they had such a wonderful day without him there". It is saddening that a Christian school seems not to practice what they preach. For a child who struggles already this was such a heartbreaking new hurdle for him to deal with.
