Really bad experiences in general. The athletics department is really bad with terrible coaches. The teachers won't input grades on time (a retest grade was never put in and the report card already came out, it's been a month). Rubrics for projects don't mean anything to the teachers. Kids who constantly disrupt class, calling the teacher a b**** and more, won't be pulled because of the least restrictive rule so every other kid in the class has to deal with the havoc.Love the band department and we've had great math teachers so far. That's about it.

As a parent, I cannot recommend Purple Sage based on our experience.We came into Purple Sage new to the district after my child had already experienced a traumatic situation earlier in the year. We were hoping for compassion, patience, and support during a difficult transition. Instead, we encountered an environment that left my child feeling defeated.Throughout the year, my child received multiple write-ups, often for behaviors that I felt should have been met with understanding, guidance, and appropriate support instead of repeated punishment. My child came home believing they were a "bad kid" and even told me they had been told that if they didn't improve, they would end up going to a "bad school." I also felt pressured to pursue an ADHD evaluation rather than having meaningful conversations about the impact that trauma, grief, anxiety, and major life changes can have on a child's behavior. I never felt those factors were given the consideration they deserved.The principal and assistant principal were dismissive of my concerns and showed very little empathy. Rather than partnering with our family to support my child's success, I often left conversations feeling like my child was viewed as a problem to be managed instead of a child who deserved compassion, patience, and support.One incident that I will never forget was my child being placed alone in a room with the lights off and the door closed during lunch detention. Regardless of the intent, that is not an appropriate way to treat a child who is already struggling emotionally.After just one school year, I made the decision to transfer my child to another school for next year. As a parent, I don't make a decision like that lightly, but I no longer felt this was an environment where my child could thrive emotionally or academically.I hope this review encourages reflection and meaningful change because every child deserves to feel safe, understood, respected, and valued at school.Unfortunately, that was not our experience at Purple Sage.

this school is way overhyped. Most of staff are either really underqualified or burnout by admin. Admin tries to make the place the same way that it used to be, but it just isn’t ever since their leadership has changed. Master students feel forgotten in the ratio that the list is a lie. It is more like 29:1 it really needs to be talked about because I feel like it’s not talked about enough and it’s just gonna keep getting worse and worse if nothing happens! most students do not enjoy their time there they either wanna go online or transfer because I feel like it would be easier because the workload is crazy for what they are getting back. It’s rilly sad.
