My son comes home so sad from school

This school has truly let me down. The expectation was that this was an uplifting performing arts academy it hasn’t lived up to any of those standards the teachers are rude & the school has been on many lockdowns it’s really not a good school my daughter won’t be returning. They give MBI out and when you respond because it is uncommon for my child to get them. I get no response. I am livid

This school is nice however the new principal cares only about the reputation and pleasing other than actually making this school a better, safer, and educational institution. A lot of the performing arts programs are dying out slowly. Its sad to be apart of it and seeing such great programs such as Mariachi and Orchestra die out. The students here are entitled, and rude. Especially towards teacher complaining to them about “difficult” assignments and pushing further due dated even though they do have enough time they get easy work it is the laziness of students in this school and the entitlement of these students thinking that everything should go their way, and a lot of the times if not always it does go their way. There is boys in the girl’s locker room, their Physical Education class (Gym) is a mess. Half of their staff don’t even know each other. The Folklorico teacher is rude and very unorganized. This school allows their dance students to twerk and dance very sexualized dances. The lunch food is disgusting, programs are favored such as STUCO, band, and dance are more funded and taken care of more than other programs that is why other programs are dying out. Teachers swear in their classrooms, a lot of the teachers don’t even teach, students are disgusting they leave their trash everywhere this school does not enforce any rule at all they only take away rights of students and expect them to understand that is a consequence or why they even took it in the first place. The dress code is horrible, there is girls wearing extremely tight clothes, barely any clothes, all of them wear crocs and sandals despite the dangers especially in science or physical classes. Oh? How could I forget? This school waits last minute to tell their students the many opportunities they can get such as the graduation colors, dual-credit classes, honors classes, the classes they need to graduate, the types of classes they need to take for their career’s, that they are missing credits, that they can’t graduate they stop 20 STUDENTS FROM WALKING IN THEIR GRADUATION FOR THE 2023 GRADUATION CEREMONY!!! This school is completely unorganized and disgusting, it was a really good school before 2020.
