The school is absolutely horrible. Kids vape all the time, and the school does not seem to do enough to stop it. Bullying is also a big problem, and when the school does step in, it often feels like the person who was right gets punished instead.The school barely fixes the boys bathroom which is constantly broken resulting in locking the bathroom altogether, graffitied with swastikas, and also kids vape in their just blowing smoke away from the smoke detector and getting away with it. Not to mention the bathroom isn’t the only place people vape, it's also the bus.I also do not like I-Ready. In my opinion, it is not a good use of taxpayer money. I do not think it teaches students very much, yet we still get graded on it. The diagnostic tests are also inaccurate and can place students in lower classes, which can affect their future. The old NWEA tests seemed much more accurate, yet they counted for nothing. My friends and I also get lessons on topics we already know or topics we have never learned before.The way students are placed into advanced classes also does not seem fair. It feels like some classes give students an advantage while others do not, making it harder for some students to get into the classes they deserve.I am not in the special education program, but I have not heard good things about it. I also think the school ID policy is unnecessary. Students have to wear color-coded lanyards all day, and by the end of the year the school ran out of holders and didn’t replace them even though they apparently cared about them so much.If you are a parent thinking about sending your child here, I would seriously think twice. I would especially be concerned if you want your child to attend classes or if they struggle with mental health. Also, do not let the reading and math statistics fool you, because they do not show the full picture of what the school is really like.

This is an amazing school, teachers are highly experienced with a very strong HSA group! My child has special needs and was able to get almost everything he needed and improved tremendously. There are a few things can be improved, but overall we had great experience here!
