I have two students at this school and two younger students who will eventually be attending high school. This is one of the worst schools any of my children (or I ) have attended. One teacher refuses to speak to the parents, not just my students, but others as well. I have had four parent teacher meetings scheduled where this teacher refused to attend. Even after the school officials called him to the office for our meeting, he would not come. The officials simply said, "we can't make a teacher talk to the parents". To this day I have yet to meet the teacher or even speak to him over the phone or through email. Another instance is that I have a student with a learning disability. My student does not receive the resources promised because the school "doesn't have time to deal with it". The most recent issue is where an adult who works for the school lied when they reported an incident, was proven that they lied, but the school will "back our employees whether right or wrong against students and parents" and not allow my student to return until they apologize for something that never happened. The bathroom doors are locked most of the time and students are not "allowed" to leave the school in search for a restroom. The only way they are allowed to use the restroom is if they have a doctor's note that says so. If they try to leave the school, the guards lock the gates and surround the student. The worst part about this school is that they forgot these students are minors. They treat them like adults in prison They are charging them fees for ridiculous things. One being the "right to park" in their parking lot, the "right to eat lunch", mandatory in school carnivals, and the list goes on. If I had the choice, I would not send my kids to this school. Much of the staff set the students up for failure any way they can.

My daughter has autism, she entered the school in 2nd grade and despite having her doctors diagnosis of ASD, they stuck her in a regular classroom and expected her to act accordingly while they spend several MONTHS doing their own ASD testing. Her placement in a regular classroom led to the suspending my 7 year old repeatedly for "behavior issues". I was getting phone calls almost every single day from her teacher, the counselor, the caseworker, etc regarding her behavior. She was suspended nearly once a week! And shes only on the mild/high functioning side of the spectrum! It took them almost 6 months to place her in an appropriate classroom with a teacher who knew how to teach children with ASD and the difference was night and day! That teacher was excellent and all of a sudden the phone calls home stopped. She never got suspended again either. The whole process to getting her into the appropriate classroom was a nightmare and made my child's first introduction to public school miserable.

this school is awful. there are fights every day. the food is lwk nasty but what schools isnt. bullying does not seem to matter whatsoever. the kids have no discipline and ive seen them skipping everyday.this school sucks. do NOT recommend.do NOT take your child here. save their well-being while you can. dont take them to galaxy either, its even worse.the only good thing about this school is algebra and geometry class.
