You will have one good year following 2/3 bad years. No communication, no consistency.

This school has reached its downfall since the establishment of a new administration and principal. Initially, I had enjoyed the unique prospects of this school from a diverse array of students to special learning opportunities. But with administration focused on the wrong issues, there's been failure to provide attention to relevancy that our students need to prosper. For starters, the administration fails to provide support towards academic achievement, but rather to the band and sports. Students participating in academic competitions fail to receive the same recognition, which hinders their potential in such a distressed environment. Administration is more focused on handing out "core value popcorn" than providing time to their students. The administration doesn't provide time to their students upon request, and talk down on students as if they're in elementary. Not to mention the special education students who are treated as toddlers and locked away into one hallway in the school. The scheduling here is completely disorganized and thoughtless to the schedules of students, who are often misinformed. There are at least eight different schedules at this school that change on a daily basis without notice, leaving them clueless of what goes on (completely unsafe in emergencies). Students who have off periods are clueless on when to arrive, and schedules that push the school day back by a hour affect those with work schedules. Administration demands things from both staff and students at late notice. High school is a time for students to learn and grow into young adults, not feel baffled and terrified of the overly harsh environment to where they don't feel comfortable enough in striving for success. The school and district will take credit and boast upon achievements of students for statistics, but fail to acknowledge them as actual human beings otherwise. This school needs to work on the treatment of students, as this learning environment should MOTIVATE students to be their best rather than feel ignored and controlled by adults. I've never felt so control-less and ignored in my eighteen years of life, and its problem spindles off the administration's disorganization and unreasonable decisions. There are better solutions to being a safe and positive environment, and this school is not taking those steps.

This school is a meh.The good:The teachers are niceSome kids are niceYour kid will learn a lot (If he/she will pay attention)Fights are not commonThe bad:This school's kids are most racist and meanRestrooms are not clean at all.Vaping and drugs are still problem with this schoolSchool food is just..... nah don't get it at allTips:Being smart is advantage because if you would give away free answers to people, you will make friends with some of the Popular kids.If someone is being racist to you, it's mostly going to be a joke so just don't pay attention to them.It took me a year to get used this new school since people can be.... jerks at this school.Lasts, don't be dumb.
