Great school with academy and sports... my son go school here and he loves it .

Hello! You may think that me, as a student come on here just to talk bad about the bad things about this school. Im not just any student but a kid from imgrant parents. I get awfully mistreated and unfairly treated. If you want to send your child to this school knowing you have other options, DON'T. My experince from this school was worse than any other school I have gone to. First things first, Instagram. Unmature students start making instagram accounts and taking pictures of random innocent people an dposting them and making fun of their looks. I would mention their accounts here but I think IM not sure if I can do that. So far surprisingly, I haven't been on their but they will get picures one way or another and the accounts will also be accepting pictures from other people so that some students sends photos to the instagram account owner an dposting it for the world to see. Second, safety. I do not feel safe in this school for lots of differnet reasons. Children are always running around uncontrolled by the teachers. The teachers just talk and won't take any action. For example today, I was walking to my 4th period and I cam across a bunch of bad kids running through the always while the hallway was very very crowded and I had almost slipped and feel into a crowd. Its wasn't only today but almost everyday. Teachers are constantly looking at them and say things like, "your going to hurt eachother" but won't get refferals or infractions. Another reason why I think you shouldn't make your child go to this school is because, they are good at teaching but, in the morning everyone in the school has a homeroom class on the schools website and we are supposed to play minecrafts, in school and they are taking that for a grade which honestly doesn't make any sense because how is a game going to help us make money and live a good life in the future? I still have some minecraft assignments to do today and its been stressing me out lately since they're always talking about and now I just feel so stressed that I want to do something I'll regret. They are also giving tooo much assignments and I know your gonna be like, "shes in middle school, everyone says that" but no. I have been distant from my familiy since school started with all assignment and Im trying to keep my A honor roll streak but its very difficult. I stay up late working and studying like a college student so I don't fail an exam and im only in the 7th grade. DO NOT SEND YOU CHILDREN AT THIS SCHOOL !!

Our experience with this school has been a mixed bag. For our oldest child it has been an overall great experience. For our youngest child with special needs, it has been a completely different story. There is very little support, empathy, understanding for children who are not on the same level as their neurotypical peers. Particularly, the administration and assistant principals leave much to be desired and could do with some intense training on how to handle children with disabilities. Ronald Crawford (assistant principal) has no business whatsoever working with children of any age and how he got this position is mind boggling. He lacks even basic common sense and blatant disregard for a child’s needs are unforgivable. We will be looking for another school for the next school year.
