During my time at this school, I experienced severe and ongoing physical and verbal bullying. When it was reported, the response from staff was minimal and did not lead to meaningful change. The school was publicly recognized as a “bully-free school,” but my lived experience did not reflect that label. My parents were at the school at least once a week attempting to address and resolve these issues, but despite repeated reports, the bullying never meaningfully improved. I often felt that maintaining the school’s reputation mattered more than addressing what was happening to me as a student. This experience had a lasting impact on my mental health and ultimately led to my removal from the school on the advice of medical professionals. I’m sharing this so parents and students understand that official labels don’t always reflect individual experiences, and I do not want anyone to go through the same experience I did.

It is unsafe and horrible. never go to thins school

As a parent of two children attending this school I am happy to say this will be the last year they are there. Faculty has zero control over what is going on at this school. I walked in to my youngest child’s class during the national anthem to see kids wandering about and sitting not paying any attention.My oldest daughter comes home everyday and tells me about a girl in her class being called the R word over and over and the teacher does NOTHING. The principals are just as useless in assisting with anything going on in the school and constantly gloss over any concerns you may have.
