Excellent experience. My daughter says it's the best school.

Horrible school. Do not send your child here. I used to go here and the blatant targeting of students by teachers is ridiculous. You can literally shoot something in a trash can and miss, and the teacher will think you were throwing it at her and give you in school detention (this actually happened). The school itself is in terrible condition. Food festers within unoccupied lockers. Trash also fills the locker houses on the floor, no one bothers to clean it up. This school won't be rebuilt for another 10 years. So, don't send your child here until its been remodeled.

The rating for this school needs to be re-evaluated. This definitely does not include the statistics for the students who they remove and kick out because they don’t meet or live up to their “perfect standards”. Ironically, the majority of the students who struggle and end up being removed are not white. There is a high level of racism among the staff and students. Students who come from wealthier backgrounds are treated differently and are allowed to get away with more things. Drugs are a problem that gets swept under the rug. This school does anything it can to cover up what’s really happening here. There is a HUGE lack of awareness around mental health needs. There are resources to address the mental health needs of the students but the school administrators and school board won’t allow it and instead move to send students who are “less than” to alternative schools or place them on homebound. If you’re wealthy and perfect, great school for you. Just don’t expect to learn any quality characteristics and traits.
