Do not send your children to this school

When my 8th grader started here (2025-2026 schools year) we were initially very excited about all the interesting elective choices. Once school start though, we quickly realized how hard the year was going to be. Almost immediately my child was bullied. The counselor was always there to talk but no actual repercussions or consequences were given to the bullies. By December, I had to admit my student into the behavior health ward for suicidal thoughts due to the bullying. When my child was released and back at school the teachers and admin acted like we were an inconvenience when trying to get missed work, dispute communication with the school counselor though everything and my student almost failed the first half of the year because of it. When trying to get an appointment to talk with admin about any issues you’re going to be waiting indefinitely for a response. When you do finally talk to the principal, she’s a master in gaslighting and not taking accountability. No one in the office can answer simple questions about enrollment/withdrawal or day to day operations. I failed as a parent by sending my child to this school, I’m just glad I didn’t lose my child forever.

This is not a diverse school. It is mostly lower class, if I had to guess by looking at the students and parents, as a whole. The entire elementary school is staffed by WOMEN. All of them. The PE teacher, I would assume does not have children by the way she speaks to her class. I have been in there several times and have overheard the way she speaks to them. It's belittling. Recently, there was a student who said she had to use the restroom and the teacher gave her a LECTURE on needing to go. SERIOUSLY?! These are CHILDREN. You should be encouraging them to ask to go when needed. Not demanding they act like they are in military school. How is THAT supposed to build their self confidence? Most of the teachers, not all, have a cocky attitude to them. They are NOT in general friendly. The office staff is also mediocre. The secretary acts like your questions are insignificant and you're a burden by even showing up in the office. The principal is great. She seems to care about your child, but is quick to blame others when something isn't done. If you don't "have" to enroll your kids here don't. In general, they don't care if you're student is behind and they don't care how your child will be treated. If I could have pulled mine last year, I would have. I'll be glad when this year is over and she can attend somewhere else.
