I read alot of the reviews and feel exactly the same as far as favortism. If you are not an athlete or friends or family members of staff than you are not treated the same! My son has already graduated but he would tell me daily that he would get yelled at about what he wore for the day and he said that "some" students get to wear the exact same thing and dont get punished for it. This was ongoing throughout his HS years. He hated going to school and I think if he had alittle more uplifting encouragement instead of nickpicking him for every little thing he would have flurished in school. He graduated with not even a 2.0. Now my daughter is in HS and has such anxiety about going. One of her teachers like to call her "small brained" and says something about her "bad character." If she asks a question about not understanding she is told that obviously she hasnt listed and that she needs to figure it out by going to some websites. Well maybe she just doesnt understand what has been taught and as a teacher I believe you are there to teach and encourage rather than pushing a student aside and tell them to figure it out on their own. She is also failing most of her classes bc she said alot of the teachers dont teach. They just stay on their phones and talk about random stuff.

We recently moved from California to TN and my boys are loving their new school. They are learning and they are happy. The people are great and my kids have adjusted very nicely.
