I've been to over 5 schools throughout my life, and this one was truly the harshest and worst experience I've had. Underqualified teachers. Over authoritative administrators.

I really don’t recommend this school for any child. In this school teachers just assume things without looking for proof, my friend went to get water and the principal said that she was skipping without even looking at her pass when it literally said where she went. This school also has a lot of fights, and sometimes the teachers do nothing but tell them to stop.children at this school smoke , and do things that they should not be doing at this age like drugs etc . Some of the bathroom doors don’t lock and the bathrooms are really dirty. Some teachers know that their students aren’t paying attention to the lesson because their on phones, talking, or walking around but they chose not to tell the students to pay attention or make sure they are learning . People at this school bully and fight others for something really stupid, a lot of people say Racist things to other students, a lot of people here don’t care for others and how they might feel, I hope this school will get better for children in the future.

I have to agree with the 2014 reviewer, the principle is also just going through the motions like many of the teachers. They do not effectively deal with bullies allowing them to continue harrassing and physically assaulting other students. The admins way of dealing with students who make "bad choices" (thier words not mine) is to punish the whole class hence having the offending students peers to shun the student. This school is more concerned about making sure the school gets special funding. It is to the admins benifit to keep these students under preforming. Meaning- they get more money.
