Teachers were rather strict. That can be a bad thing up until it reaches a certain level, in particular the access teachers were frequently absent in assisting students in any and all manners. The history teacher was also quite nice, in particular he happened to be my favorite teacher. Others teachers although, especially the in-person access and the math teacher often neglected to help students in the slightest. The in-person access teacher in particular was constantly nagging and annoying student, prominent examples are him constantly making a scene of being quite loud and saying rather odd or obscene things. The advanced math teacher, perhaps in her latent years, seemed to be quite strict, she would very often merely not help the students who really needed it. The school in general in spite of having one special education teacher seemed to fail most areas of truly helping them learn, cheating is constant and allowed. Overall 4.5/10 with a decent few other factors.

This has to be one of the worst schools in the state. I have 2 step sons in this school, both who have not made the grades this year to be moved on to the next grade. However, the older one, who has an IEP (a plan to deal with educating him as he has behavior, mental and psychological issues) and failed kindergarten, is in the 6th grade and even with his year end average for ALL classes being "D"s they are saying that he should be moved on to the 7th grade. When I spoke to his teachers and the school to find out why a student who has made no effort to get good grades is being passed to the next grade I was told that "Because he has an IEP his grades don't matter". So my almost 13 year old step son who should be going into the 8th grade, and is on a 4th grade reading and math level is being recommended to pass to the 7th grade by this school. The younger one is in the 4th grade, has made the same kind of grades and they are wanting to pass him, even though he is just now on a 3.1 (first part of the 3rd grade year) with his math and reading. The younger one does not have an IEP. I am at a loss as to why a school would pass children with "D"s and "F"s on to the next grade.
