If your child is anything other than what is considered "normal" at this school, be prepared for lots of coming home sobbing, and don't expect the teachers to do something about it, nope! They'll just blame the victim instead of helping them. Guidance counselors will denounce everything as "just anxiety". This one girl cut herself (on purpose) during class and apparently I was "having a little bit of anxiety". Bus driver does NOTHING to stop harassment. If you try to stand up for yourself teachers will tell you "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it." And then wonder why you never talk to them.

Great school. Our kids have excelled in reading and math.

The kids are all bullies. They judge you for not fitting in or being "perfect". The classes are too easy and there is no challenge for students who are smarter than others. The cafeteria food makes people throw up all the time. The bathrooms are disgusting and most stalls are broken. A lot of students fight, do drugs, and are very rude. Most bus drivers let students walk around the bus, scream, and break things. This is a terrible school and do not recommend even to someone I really dislike. If i could give this school zero stars, I would.
