3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is mediocre at best. The building and facilities are reasonably well maintained. Chromebook computers with WiFi are provided for every student. However, most students seem more interested in play games, texting friends or watching TikTok videos on their phones than paying attention in class. Many students are rude, disrespectful, chronically late or absent. There’s bullying, occasional physical violence and once there was a shooting. Administration is more concerned with implementing Woke policies than maintaining discipline. While it is possible to receive an adequate education in vocational career pathways in construction, culinary, agriculture, etc and sports teams do well, more academically minded students or families with traditional values would probably not be satisfied with this high school.Other Review10mo ago
