This school is just ok. I am a sophomore here and my experience hasn't been great. The student environment is very toxic. there have been more fights than I can count and there is a lot of bullying. Last year, days after a student committed suicide, the early college program had BMX bikers come to the school to talk about bullying. SPOILER ALERT: they didn't talk about bullying. It was only bike tricks. it seemed very insensitive considering the situation. Also, I don't know if the principal herself is aware of this, but she tends to be very buddy-buddy with the bullies at the school. I wrote an incident report about a bully last month and got no update. I've heard nothing about it and feels like I got brushed off. The reason I reported the bullying in the first place was that I was having suicidal thoughts because of the bullying. The well-being of the students shouldn't be an afterthought. Yet here we are. Speaking of well-being, we have had no drills related to shootings or lockdowns. I thought there would be something like that, especially since there was a school shooting in texas not too long ago. To sum it up, attending this school makes me scared for my mental health and safety.

This is not the same school that it was a few years ago. A new principal and administrative staff as well as an invigorated staff and active student body have all played parts in rewriting the story for Decker Elementary. As a parent, I am proud to send my children to school each day.

So as a student of this school changing schools next year this school is a total mess fights here in this schools are almost single day and one of the math class doesn’t even have a teacher so we have to learn online zoom instead but I can’t really learned anything since nobody pays attention and we having a starr test soon so if the class fails it’s the school faults.
