The teachers are excellent and work very hard to overcome the obstacles faced by this campus. There is a lot of poverty in this area, the teachers and PTO even raised money to buy coats for many children. Despite the odds against them, they still manage to be great teachers, and all my children who attended this school continue to be in AP classes. Don't look at the grades given by outsiders, this is a great school.

We have two sons that have been at this school since kindergarten. Our older sons went to a different school. Overall we were pleased with both but this school has exceeded our expectations. We worried initially based on the schools previous scores but after meeting with the teachers and doing tours we were confident this was the right decision. Since then the school has continued to do better and our sons have both excelled. We always make sure to tell anyone that has questions about this school about our experience.

Our son really enjoys this school, and the teachers have made us feel that he is cared for and safe. He has been thriving in this type of educational setting, and it has positively impacted his sense of independence.

Academics are subpar. Punishments are cruel and not disclosed to parents. Retaliation towards whistleblowers. Financials are not fully transparent. Art room floods multiple times a year and staff isn’t aware for days to get someone to dry it out. Special education is not offered. Students are not challenged or given advanced work or opportunities. Class sizes are at max capacity. Competition is discouraged. Teachers have to teach art and science as no staff for those positions. Technological opportunities for students are out dated. Library is not accessible and fully functional to students. Teachers are not given supplies and equipment to perform their jobs. Disciplinary actions are biased and focused on nepotism.

The worst experience and my son hated it. I wish I never put him in this terrible school.
