Amazing School and Staff. Couldn't be happier that my kids get to attend elementary school here.

Learning:I would say a majority of students at this school are excited about what they are learning. It all depends on the type of class though as the easier classes have low amounts of work which is why these classes usually contain the students not as interested in the subject while the AP and OnRamps classes have a heavy workload meaning the students are often determined to get a good grade in the class.Special Education:I have accommodations and the school was extremely helpful in providing it and all my teachers have given me the accommodations.Teaching:Most of the teachers at this school are nice. They are very helpful whenever you need help but some teachers can get frustrated if you ask them if you can review a test or something similar. I would like to mention that many of advanced teachers will often give lots of homework, especially history where you can usually expect 2-3 hours of homework a night.Safety:The school does not care about safety and covers up incidents that occur. There are often fights at the school where people will end up severely injured. When a fight happens, teachers do not break up the actual fight but rather deter witnesses that can gather evidence of the fight which could be shown to parents. For example, there was a major fight on 8/29/23 that resulted in several students and adults getting injured. The principal responded by making an announcement about aggression while referring to our actions as "barbaric" but made a big deal about any students recording the fight as she threatened anyone who recorded the fight to delete the recording and anyone who posted it to social media to take it down immediately. The administration has made it clear that they do not actually care about the incidents that happen on campus but rather if they get leaked to the outside world.Social-emotional support:The counselors are very helpful and are there whenever you need them. I will say though that if you have a mental-health problem at this school, you need to speak up since nobody actively looks for people who seem depressed.Family Engagement:The school will often try to cover up incidents on campus. The principal made sure to address everyone about the fight on campus but only to make sure that students did not post it to social media for parents to see. There is little transparency in the school for parents which helps the administration as they don't need to respond to emails from concerned parents or the school board.

I would also like to mention that the food here is impeccable. specifically the pizza.
