The school really keeps the kids engaged and active. The small class sizes provide for great one on one time and each of the teachers my kids have had have been very genuine in wanting to make learning fun. It also helps to have access 24/7 to the school portal to see grades, assignments, and attendance. The only complaint I have is that until I learned about the portal, sometimes I felt like I was slow to find out when assignments weren't being done. Still, if I put in the effort of checking, I find that they do the teaching quite well!

Other students spread harmful rumors and engage in fat-shaming. When these issues are reported to staff, the typical response is, 'They'll stop,' but the behavior only gets worse. The teachers seem underpaid, and their lack of effort shows. Last year, the English teacher yelled at several students, causing some to nearly have breakdowns—one actually did! The school seems more focused on addressing vaping with measures like banning backpacks and installing vape detectors, while ignoring much bigger issues. The band teacher walks around barefoot or in socks, leaving food everywhere, and openly shows favoritism. Terrible school.
