The school person grades our science work does not grade properly and this could be seen on our report cards, Most of my class is failing science due to a lack of keeping up with our work and this is very harmful to our future careers.

Horrible. There were constant threats of violence and racial slurs being thrown to both the black and Hispanic students, with no repercussions for it. The teaching was below average and I didn't learn much before I graduated at least things that I didn't learn in 4th grade.

This is the worst school I've worked at, I've had things stolen, I've been lied on, and I've been cursed at, just to name a few! The kids are (not all but the vast majority) rude, mean, highly disrespectful and extremely aggressive. The one of the reasons for the atrocious behavior is there is little to no consequences for students. They're behavior and discipline system is called Restorative Justice which allows students to behave inappropriately with little to no consequences. This causes repeated negative behavior patterns that go unchecked and influences other students to behave in the same manner. As a result, instruction and learning is hindered because teachers spend majority of their time dealing with behavior problems that should have been dealt with by the Administrators long ago! Definitely do not recommend this school for any family that cares about inappropriate student behavior and want their kids to learn in a conducive learning environment.

Terrible and the school is changing for the worst within the last two years. Turn over rate for staff has increased and nobody communicates. My child will NOT return to this school.
