We have been very pleased with the education our son has received at this facility.

I haven't had a very positive experience in this school system. The most positive factor, however, would be the student body. I used to be bullied a lot but through time and patience, I earned a respect from my peers. I enjoy sharing hallways with them on a consistent basis and many of them have their own quirky traits that make projects enjoyable. The school presents assignments in a way that suggests that if you miss one you are on a path to failure, this was worse to me than other students because I tend to take responsibilities seriously. This caused me many health problems because I would obsess over projects with too little time and that required too much work. One class, I took actually broke me and dragged all my other grades down as I just tried to drag my grade up to a D so I would pass. I would spend countless hours on those assignments just to do poorly, and the teacher did no help, they didn't teach. All I wanted from them was a lecture and all I got was movies and youtube videos teaching for them. I have had many issues with staff, however, most of the staff is decent at their jobs, some even care about what they teach and can bring excitement to the subject. I think the best courses in this school system are in the shop classes and weights class. They are absolutely wonderful and very informative in teaching. I used to be a goody-two-shoes with my homework and with getting it done but I have since learned better. This school system taught me that my health was worth less than anything involving the school. I was told when I went to talk to a counselor that I had approached for help, that I was struggling because I was stupid and not focusing enough of my time on the subject. When they said this, I was averaging 3 hours of sleep on a good night because all my time went towards the class. I stopped talking to family and friends and stopped playing any kinds of games or doing any kind of project I might enjoy because all my energy went towards school. I was losing weight because I couldn't even spare time to eat properly. I tried to get help but was constantly being told that I wasn't doing enough, sometimes I didn't even sleep. A note to anyone, I am not a normal person by any social means. I learn differently and that makes me a problem. Most kids will fit in this school well, but if your kid is unique or undiagnosed don't send them here unless you're a momma bear. You will have to be aggressive towards protecting your kid from rubbish.

its okay but it needs improvements like water fountains in the 6th-grade wing
