This school deserves a negative rating for discrimination, prejudice, and bias (favoritism). Social affiliation and personal preference should not determine who is allowed to speak up. Infringing on my basic right of freedom and equality is not acceptable behavior from a public educational institution. They are normalizing censorship. There are other influences motivating how the administration treats students other than their academic or program performance. Preferential treatment is staggering. I sat in a meeting where the majority of parents present were okay with the principal coming in to deliberately verbally attack me, use angry scare tactic to intimidate or imply that I was not welcome, threaten that he could make a decision that would not be best for my child, and push his hand out to make a stop motion directly at me before leaving. All this in response to me asking a question concerning products that were ordered but had not arrived/been delivered to the students. First I asked the teacher for an update, and did not get a response in 10 days so I asked the AP who oversees that program for an update. I and other parents paid for said items. In their defense, most of the parents present did not know I had asked the question so it all went right over their heads. I am trying to follow protocol and use the chain of command. I am waiting to meet with the principal. Hopeful, but not holding my breathe. Will update this comment if anything changes.

This school is horrible they pick favorites especially the teachers one of my teachers reset not one but 5 schoology assignments and claimed that I did not do them after I wrote down when they were done and even got help. And last year I was bullied the whole and it was my first year I reported it and they waved it off and threatened to put me another girl in iss for the so called drama we were in. Another girl touched me and some other students Inappropriately and a bunch of us reported it but they did nothing and it was on camera. And at a teacher's parent conference a teacher said that I fell asleep on an assignment on the computer and lied and said it was another assignment but I went to go look and it was just a bad grade. And the assistant went through a bunch of kids phones without permission, I'm talking about messages and other personal things. And the Spanish teacher who is supposed to TEACH us Spanish only gives us work and has us translate it on the computer.

Unfortunately teachers in this school are extremely aggressive and verbally and emotionally abusive towards their students. The higher staff such as principals and assistant principals are very neglectful and compulsive liars. They fabricate lies and stories to excuse their horrendous behavior towards students.
