Schools administrators and teachers, do not have students best interest in mind when they come into this school i have observed multiple incidents of teachers belittling a student, as well as harassing a student. Students are unmotivated, and relatively unhappy compared to other schools in the area quality of life is usually poor, and teachers seem to lack the ability to connect to students rather they try to suppress a students true potential. This school could turn a happy kid with a lot of potential into a student who is unmotivated to even go to school because of teachers, and staff. The school is strict on its policies that are not usually set in high schools but rather middle school like rules. The administration, especially the principal seems to let their power over children get to their head, ive witnessed instances of the administration quite literally bullying and targetting students they don’t believe to fit their model of a good student. I would not recommend this school if there is an alternative i would weigh out the options.

My child has had an amazing experience at this school and the principles and teachers have all be so welcoming and great. My daughter loves going to school and I love being involved as well!
