I have had numerous issues this school year with lack of communication from administration when it comes to incidents that arise between students. As a result, I am not confident that student safety is a priority with the school administration.

Terrible leadership from Principal Jackson. We've had multiple issues with my kids being bullied in school and nothing has been done to prevent this. The safety and security of the kids that attend this school should be a priority to the teachers and this failed principal. The kids are allowed to move through the school with a pack mentality and the school does nothing about this. There are videos of students doing drugs, selling drugs, and posing with guns. All of these issues are known by the students and staff of this school and nothing is being done.

As a current full-time Running Start student, my experience with this high school has been overwhelmingly negative, prompting me to seek alternatives like community college. The school environment, especially the staff, has been unhelpful, and I encountered significant challenges when trying to navigate the Running Start program. Despite reaching out to a counselor via email for assistance, I received no response. It took intervention from a teacher and persistence on my part to finally connect with the counselor, who consistently delayed our meetings and even failed to show up on scheduled occasions. The only way I managed to see her was by waiting after school to catch her. Unfortunately, due to the lack of guidance and information, I am now facing potential delays in graduating on time. This negative experience has led me to strongly discourage others from attending this school, as the environment is rife with negativity and lacks the necessary support for students. The only positive aspect has been a few dedicated teachers who genuinely care about their students and try their best to support them.
