My impression is that they only care about the kids that will help their test scores so they get funding. The special needs assistance is a joke.

This school is honestly one of the worst schools I’ve ever been to.Some of the teachers teach others let us be on our phones all day and most of them really just don’t care and actually say “I’m not getting paid enough for actually teaching you guys”.The bullying is very bad here the principals are actually friends with the biggest bully’s here and they will always side with them if a student goes to report to the office about bullying.Another thing is that they wouldn’t let students sit at these red tables near the cafeteria and would force them to go to the cafeteria,and the problem here was that most of those students didn’t have friends so they would feel better sitting on the red tables than to be in a cold stinky cafeteria all by themselves.Honestly don’t send your kid here because on top of all the things I just said don’t bring your kid here ESPECIALLY if he or she is autistic or have a disability because a lot of kids will make fun of them every single day because I’ve seen it happen all of 7th grade and 8th grade.

I just graduated from this school two days ago and I have to say it’s absolutely horrendous. This school does a really great job of clipping students wings and not allowing them to express themselves. The administration is too caught up in how much funding they get then paying attention to a student’s mental health, it’s honestly disappointing. The one highlight of this school is the amazing teachers, but other than that the place is a dump. Disgusting bathrooms, deteriorated interior, and just overall terrible people running it. The one thing that pushed me over the edge was the activities director. The day of graduation I arrived with a custom stole made by my sister with various clubs and my college I was going to. I walked in and the activities director snatched it off my shoulders and said “this comes with me”. When I asked for it back to just give to my parents she said no. I got no explanation as to why it was snatched and it baffles me because no where in the handbook was it stated a student can’t wear a stole. I arrived two days later where I was told it would be along with my diploma and instead I was told “it’s at my house”. Why is my stole in your house? And more importantly why is the inconvenience to me when you’re the person who didn’t put it in the handbook? It’s honestly just so frustrating because these people treat you like children even after you are an adult and graduated from their school. I would recommend any other school but this place, again it is a horrible place to send a student that wants to be expressive or even just themselves. I will not miss it.
