Terrible school!!!! Constant fights and a dangerous environment. Looking to get my kid out of there ASAP!

The school is extremely under staffed going into 20-21 school year. With the boom of CA people moving to South Reno, and rezoning, the school is packed as are ALL high schools in Reno. You have many teachers teaching their opinions politically, nobody checking revealing clothing, etc.. It is one of the better high schools in Washoe County but it is public, and NV schools are ranked pretty low.

I don't know why parents are happy their kid is in ANY public school in Washoe County, or Nevada at all. These kids test a year behind other states so I had to put mine in Kumon so I knew they were at least learning their math! The curriculum is all social justice even my 3rd grader had to learn about boycotting and strikes, Jim Crowe laws 2nd week of 3rd grade! The teachers are all different, half of the teachers we had were horrible and MEAN, half were nice but not structured. There is no consistency between schools and homework loads, Hunsburger no homework, my 3rd grader last year had HOURS, my 2nd grader none. Had a discussion with the Principle, and he just said, do what you want then.. ?? really? Teachers can't handle kids who get restless, and then they get punished with unearned bad grades. Teachers need aids, the classrooms are too big. Lastly, I learned from my brief stint in PTA, that the county money for schools goes to the poorer neighborhoods, where those kids have laptops and the technology and this school, where the parents actually pay their property taxes, are constantly asking for more money for "technology".. these kids might be #1 in their class, but remember being the top of the 50th ranked state in Education is getting your kid nowhere fast. Pulled my kids out as soon as there was an opening in any private school.
