I want to say upfront, this district doesn’t believe in homework. Assignments are given daily and completed in class. Anything not completed can be finished at home and turned in the following day. My kids rarely brought work home. To me this was huge, especially during football season. We have a very strong football program under Coach Young. They check the kids grades daily and follow up with them on missing assignments. Teachers and staff are great and everyone knows you and your kids. My only complaint is the overuse of referrals and ISS in the middle school. They gave in school suspension to a kid that ate a chip from someone else’s lunch. Overall it keeps the kids in line, but the punishment can be a bit much.

Overall pretty great. The ELA Honors teacher and the science teacher are amazing. They're full of kindness and know how to do their job very well.A few things however, is the internal biases some lunch teachers have. (if you're a black person you're more of a threat, if they're crying they're immediately the victim, etc.) and the transphobia. There's multiple students (obviously not gonna name them lol) but worst of all, even the teachers are like that. Especially the PE coaches and band teachers.Following that topic, as a trans student here, I do not feel welcomed nor safe. The PE coach does not understand that I am a trans boy, but rather thinks I'm a male crossdresser. (Normally, that would be a compliment but god. You're a teacher. Please just think for two seconds). Also, I'm not allowed in the male lockerrooms (Obviously.) And I keep getting either physically attacked (Shoving into doors, getting my head banged on lockers, etc.) or mentally attacked (Getting slurs thrown at me, manipulating me into thinking I was staring at someone, etc). The teachers haven't caught on yet.Lastly, the equipment is pretty good as far as a school goes. The track is nice, and they even have badminton rackets! The water fountains definitely could be better, but they always suck anyways.In conclusion, it's just an average school. I wouldn't take a minority kid here, but c'mon. It's one of the best options in the area. (Betty Myers is kinda goated.) Just give it a shot.

This school is fantastic. The new administration has been wonderful. They have put students, families, and staff first. We love CE!
