What I initially thought was an excellent school (by word of mouth), I soon learned this school is far from a good school. The biggest issues are the teachers. Every year my son had one or two teachers that took the "I don't give a ----" attitude. They went so far as to say, if you don't like eat then drop the class. Unfortunately, the guidance counselors are not very helpful and will not hear a student or even engage with the student. My son was basically on his own at this school to try and figure out how everything works. On his senior year, he was not told that he needed an on line course to graduate. We happen to be looking at the entire program and noticed that he needed the course. His guidance counselor pretty much advised that he was out on the day it was presented and that is why he was not informed. I can go on and on about issues at this school, from constant fights to teachers speaking to kids as if they were gum under their sneaker. While I do not always take my son's side as I know he does things that he should not, the extent of his behavior is wearing sweats to school or pajamas. My son has never disrespected a teacher in the school as he knows I will not tolerate this behavior. Now I ask, who addresses the teachers when they disrespect a student and do not care about their education.I will say, the principal is excellent. My son had issues with a teacher and after a back and forth with a teacher and a dean acting unfairly, he stepped in and resolved the issue. My son was unfairly accused of cheating. When he retook the test, the teacher refused to change his grade back to a passing grade. She was angry because she made an inappropriate comment in class in front of the entire class and I brought it to the school's attention.Sad to say bullying is not only from kids, but also from teachers.

The principal is no where to be seen. Coming from other schools where the principal would be more engaged and in public eye such as pick up and drop off areas. During weeks where they dress up the principal would be showing their support etc. PTO tries their hardest but you can tell school leadership lacks that fun and engagement with the families. Example science fair was awful, daddy daughter dance sold out within 24 hours. Nothing for Christmas or holidays. Harmony is where many moved to be in a secluded area with their families to be more involved but that lacks. Grade level from the school has dropped. The teachers are amazing so at least there is that. We know the area is growing and so is the school and that’s also concerning.
