This school is an absolute nightmare. The incompetence starts at the top from the principals, guidance counsellors to the teachers. In 20 years of hazing children in the education system I can say this is the most poorly run school I’ve ever seen or heard of, truly awful . I would really think twice about sending your child’s here!

This school has difficulty maintaining a grade A type school. In the past it has dropped then up then down again...and after attending there I can see why. If you are a parent to a student at this school and already viewing the school in a negative place from outside perspective, it is worse if you are working behind the walls. Starters, they do not hire teachers based off their passion for teaching, these teachers are there for a pay check and a pay check only. Their experience is very naive, bare minimum, and inexperienced including insufficient in challenging students . Class management at this school is nonexistent. Students that are disruptive, and have behavioral problems are not held accountable at all. Bullying is a huge problem at this school for all grades starting as young as Kindergarten and administration does not do anything to prevent or stop bullying. If it is brought up to administration they are quick to dismiss it and do nothing to retaliate. Students that threat employees or are disrespectful are not held accountable instead the teachers are the ones getting the heat. This school has to prioritize discipline and suspension more to those that are disruptive to the learning environment as it detracts students who are dedicated to learning. Students that clearly should not continue education at a school due to their behavior should be pulled out and let students who want to learn/well behaved into the school. The curriculum is bare minimum and teachers do nothing to challenge the students or their potential compared to other schools. This school also has favoritism to certain students; that are the staff and PTO only. Communication at this school severely lacks for parents. Which is a serious problem if a teacher leaves parents are not the first to know until weeks later sometimes students are not even aware. Teacher turn over especially this year is concerning and disastrous. The fact that there has been two principals in recent years, bullying has persisted, while assistant principal has remained constant, questioning is it really the principal the problem.

I went to this school ONCE and I hated it with everything I have inside me, this school made me feel like I was the ugliest person to ever exist, the bullying in this school is actually insane, 95% of kids in this school are EXTREMELY disrespectful if you love your children don’t send them here.
