This school was subject to a 2011 Federal lawsuit due to discriminatory suspension of students. They were suspended, not for behavior problems or fighting or even for academic violations. Some students received suspensions for 50 days simply for having a shirt that wasn't completely tucked in. In one case, the principal spotted a student whose shirt became untucked AS HE WAS TUCKING IT BACK IN, and still suspended him for 50 days. These draconian practices may be ending due to a lawsuit, but should it really take a lawsuit to get a school to focus on important academic issues rather than forcing students not to be able to get an education?

This is the second year my children have attended this school. I honestly am not a huge fan at all. My children come home stating how the teachers are always yelling at them and how they feel the teachers don't like them. It makes me wondering where is the love of teaching or the love for the children. Tthe school had a lock down due to a gun being found on a student and parents were not notified at all. Also they have random searches at the school and parents aren't notified then either. Regardless of what past experiences may have been had they need to realize that parents would like to know what is going on with their children at school. If I had the option to send my children to another school I would.
