Horrible .i had to pull my child ou of there .i would not send my worst enemy there .

The entire school district needs an overhaul, however the high school is the worst. The staff turn around is high except for the ones that should leave. They do not know how to handle general situations and when a challenging situation arises they make absolutely no effort to do the right thing. They look out for their own interests, especially when wrong and when confronted they ignore and put a gag on other staff to not speak with you. Not a good or healthy environment when it should be about the students and their health and safety and it's more about protecting themselves at any cost including trying to convince another child to go along with a lie just to support what actions they took regardless of how wrong they were. This leaving that child to not trust anyone at the school as they shouldn't.

I’m a student here, and there is a disregard for bullying and many other issues. Many of the problems with other students are simply said to be a “he said, she said” kinda of situation. I have been called slurs and have faced racial discrimination. Bullying is a problem in this school and it’s not taken seriously enough. I fear asking for helping from teachers when struggling on assignments due to fear of being ridiculed. You are expecting to remember things you learned years ago, and some teachers simply give you work without explaining it. Others give articles and have you take notes without actually teaching. Students learn in many way but many of those ways are not accommodated. I have had an incident with another student that led the principal to blame me, not contact a parent, and more. The first problem was the fact they did not contact one of my parents to let them know, infact I was the only reason my parents knew. Then when asked why the child was not moved from all of my classes, the principal blamed me and stated that I did not request for the child to be moved from all classes and simply said the one that the incident happened in was the only one I requested. But I am a child and that choice should have been discussed with a parent, not just me alone. I will admit that the principal was attentive during then and asked for my opinion. She also later took accountability for not moving the kid from all my classes, and she apologized which I respect from her. She also looks forward to improving the school, so k will admit that she does not neglect her responsibilities. Moving on, I find that guidance tends to relatively helpful. She gives advice and listens to situations, offering different perspectives and suggestions. She handles things calmly and respectfully, though others might have different views on her. There are many only complaints to be added about the lack of care in this school, but I’ll refrain from stating anything more. Please rethink your choice of coming to this school, or if a teacher sees this, rethink your teaching methods. This school is a hassle.
