This school is incredibly ableist. Disability support is rarely given and disabled students are left to drown. The nurses don't do their job and tell disabled kids to stop coming in so much, as well as violating health plans. The school does the bare minimum to call themselves "inclusive", leading parents to think this school is the right fit for their child. Several teachers have made homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and racist comments casually in class and they get no repercussions. Substitutes are always on their phone talking in class. Very few teachers seem to actually want to be at school and don't teach at all, they just hand out worksheets expecting students to understand what they're doing. The mental health and bullying support is slim to none. Fights are constant and those involved are just told not to do it again. During the pandemic, they did the bare minimum to enforce the mask mandate, which left disabled and ill children at risk. They threaten disabled students who HAVE to miss school with court dates and truancy charges rather than helping them succeed in school and giving them the support system they need. If you want your child to have an inclusive, happy, and supportive high school life: do not pick Enterprise.

My son thrived during his time at Hillcrest Elementary!
