Principal Emery only cares about dancing videos with students rapping, girls with shorts. No dress code, no ethics. Toxic school with daily fights, vaping, bullying, profanity, selling drugs, nudity/sex in bathrooms. Academics is not a priority. School rating is 3 out of 10 in. Admin. need to have more disciplin enforced, as students are out of control. They negatively affect the few good students in terms of behavior, attitude, and development.

If your child is an above average AP student or falls in the special needs category then you and your child may have a good experience there. But if they are an average student struggling in any way you’ll find no support. Your child is treated as a number and there is no personal consideration granted in any way. If your child isn’t bringing the school any money (AP classes/ESE) they don’t care whether your child succeeds or not. You just get pushed around from one department to another, even at the Vice Principal level and they don’t take in to consideration what your pediatrician or therapist recommends nor do they consider any type of parent input as to what may be best for your child. And the Guidance department is completely overworked so don’t look for help there. If you’re zoned for this high school save your money for private school!

The school is doing great, math & english has more emphasis. AR & ReadingPlus is mandatory for all students. It really helps to improve reading & language skills.However the teachers emphasize less on Science, Social studies & sports. I felt there is no emphasis on Arts or skill development at all.
