I am a bus driver also a teacher, the stories I hear about children's days. The stories I hear from parents. The way these teachers talk to children, shut up, stupid, I don't care! Now days it is so easy to make a child feel so little & worthless ( yall have no idea what some of these children go through at home). Suicidal rates are so high! It is our job as teachers to make these children feel loved & wanted to make them feel worth something to make them feel like one day they will conquer the world. And yall sit here & do the total opposite! I have had a whole year driving these children so sweet excited everyday & I've seen a big difference at dropping off.

1. Communication between the Academic and Administration teams is ZERO. None of the records or information is correct. 2. A lot of emails were sent to the school, but I didn't receive any reply from anyone in these emails. 3. The administration stuff need a lot of training and considering the special needs and accommodation for the students

This school lacks diversity and inclusivity, with limited cultural representation. Some students exhibit aggressive and unkind behavior, and there are frequent instances of students using inappropriate language in the hallways, creating a hostile atmosphere for others. Communication with the principal is poor, as emails from parents often go unanswered. The school environment feels disorganized, and many students seem disengaged, often spending time on their phones instead of focusing on their studies. Classrooms are chaotic, which makes it difficult for motivated students to concentrate, as disruptive behavior is common. There are also reports of theft, fighting, and other inappropriate activities, which the administration appears to downplay. My child regrets attending this school and feels that her entire middle school experience was wasted there. I would not recommend this school.
