This school is not the same post pandemic. Families are welcoming and seem to be even more helpful than administration. There is little hands on learning. Lots of worksheets! Lots of behavioral issues that seem to be an issue for a safe and healthy learning environment. Kids at all levels, but the teaching is to the median. If you aren't getting concepts than you will struggle, if you are ahead of the curve you will be bored. I would not recommend this school. Many new teachers and a lack of vision and goals from the leader of school. Also, extremely clicky staff!

The administration of this school is shockingly neglectful. There are multiple fights a week, vaping in the bathrooms, bullying and rough housing constantly, and thefts nearly daily. My child has reported multiple thefts from their backpack, which the administration requires them to leave unattended outside, and nothing has been done to address it. My child now hides their emergency cash in their shoe. Students are regularly smacked on the head, pushed, shoved, or elbowed by bully's in the hall and teachers just shrug when informed. I've spoken with both the hall monitor and administration and received a luke warm response that they'll look into it. After 2 years here, the issues have only worsened. Many of teachers are rude and dismissive towards the students. My normally bright and happy child dreads going to certain classes due to her teachers passive aggressive comments and berating of students. I've volunteered at the school multiple times in the last two years. I've personally watched the Principal demean students and treat them very poorly. She has no desire to connect with the students and it shows. She is very cold to students and parents alike. My child has witnessed repeated bullying of a student with autism, reported it and it again fell on deaf ears. Videos of the many fights can be found on TikTok along with cyber bullying videos of other kids. There's hate comments towards LGBTQ and Black students written in the bathrooms. The LGBTQ club disbanded one year after repeated bullying from students and having their school flyers ripped down over and over. I regret letting my child attend this school and hope they'll recover from the trauma and poor education in High School.

As a parent of a student transferring from another high school, the experience has been very positive so far. The school atmosphere is inclusive and caring, the school facilities are good and there are opportunities to challenge yourself in academic or extracurricular activities. The school also communicates effectively with parents, and actively engages in charitable activities to help the community.
