The environment at this school is becoming increasingly untenable for students. We are constantly dealing with a lack of pedagogical stability because so many teachers are either brand-new or quit halfway through the year. This 'revolving door' of staff means there is almost no consistent discipline or authority in the building.Because the administration can't keep experienced teachers, the student culture has devolved into something really hostile. There is a pervasive amount of homophobia and transphobia in the halls that goes almost entirely unchecked. It’s common to hear discriminatory slurs and targeted harassment, but since the staff is always changing, nobody is held accountable.It is extremely difficult to focus on my education when the social climate is this bigoted and the leadership is this fragmented. A school shouldn't feel like a place where you have to worry about your identity being attacked just because the adults in charge can’t maintain a stable environment.

This school has the worst principal in the county. Great teachers though

Stay far away from this school. Your kids are not safe. Bullying is swept under the rug, the staff protects the bullies. The staff tells lies and cover up and protect certain students. There’s something suspicious going on at this school and it won’t be long before it’s exposed.
