The school is easy to navigate for new students, and the teachers are kind and motivating. Although this school doesn’t build a great foundation for student’s futures, teachers make it easy to understand the topics they teach. Despite all positive feedback, there are problems regarding bullying. I’ve watched kids be humiliated and made fun of for their sense of humor, kids being discriminated for their sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion. I am a Buddhist and I’m scared to share this information watching how non christians are treated. Seriously, if you are sensitive, attend this school with caution. It’s not for the weak.

On a side note: Denia Reese (Superintendent) is by far the most disrespecting and disregarding of any concern I had. I brought this issue to her attention after MANY OF YEARS fighting with IEP's and teachers. She did not reply to me & what we were experiencing for so long. She sent my email to the school principle ( I could have done that !!) I wanted to bring this issue to higher authority not only for myself and child but, any others that may be in our shoes and hopefully make it easier road for them. However, the end result the teachers (for some) are trying to accommodate for the need (now, some did in the past but, wasn't on the right path, if so he may have done better then instead of now). So, do not bother wasting your time about your issue to the highest representative for Catoosa County because it is not her concern. Proven Fact.

I’m very glad Mr . Beard is retiring! He should have never been allow to be over the school in the first place! Staff is not friendly, they will single your child out and bully them. They do NOT communicate with parents at all and when they do it’s when it’s something serious not before it escalates! They will also interrogate your child (without being parents notified ) in a small room with STRANGERS to him ( RO officer , principal ,vice principal, counselor) until they have an anxiety attack and hyperventilation. Hopefully their new principal next year will lead with example and make their staff friendly, however I doubt it due to it being their current vice principal.
