We understand that bullying will exist regardless of what school children attend - what we do not understand is why it is allowed to continue after being brought to the attention of the school administration and teachers. The office staff is unhelpful and good luck trying to get them to answer a call. This is a school where the teachers that our children had, one in particular, was simply teaching for an easy paycheck and summers off (my assumption based on her performance). When questioned about their accountability and classroom events, the teacher would quickly changed the subject to "issues" our child was causing in the classroom. These "issues" occured on "many different occasions in the prior weeks" but it was not brought to our attention until we address issues that our child was coming home to tell us about. When speaking with the principal, they principal even agreed that it was inappropriate to address the issues in the manner she did and it made it seem like it was only a way to get the focus off of her. I cannot recommend highly enough to NOT attend this school if you can manage it. I believe that the superintendent over this school however is great and will be working on correcting the issues, but until that time - try to get into a different school.

I personally enjoy my experience at this school, but not as a student. As a classmate, and friend - yes! The people who go to this school are very intelligent and are going to amazing places, but our school system is horrible. There are so many problems I have suggested we fix, but then whoever I talk to will laugh in my face. Other students and I have tried to rally together to fight the school system but there is not much we can do when the administrators have the final say. If you are not in a Sport, JROTC or Band you are treated unfairly. Teachers actively make fun of clubs and our school news channel doesn't talk about how the students are being treated by teachers and administration because they are not allowed to. The coaches in this school, the Army Instructors and the band director are the only teachers I feel as though I can trust. Counselors are practically useless and are used as schedulers instead of doing the job they were hired for. Anyone in Administration will ignore you and degrade you for asking for help. This school has some serious problems that I think students know how to fix, but will ultimately be ignored.

My son is going to start 6th grade this year and I’m already not liking that they don’t allow me to leave the school supplies in his class for him. I’m worried about him struggling to find his classrooms the first day and now he had to carry supplies in by him self smh! And they asked for a lot of copy paper which makes the bags heavier.
