Horrible school. I have worked there. The girls get sexually harassed and bullied. The teachers get bullied as well. The students constantly make remarks about teacher’s appearance, weight, and sexual orientation. The students also have multiple instagram pages in which they harass teachers and students. It is utter chaos in this school. Administration does nothing. They do not care about their brown kids. Don’t send your kids here, it is unsafe!

So, I went to this school last year and I hated it and still do. The teachers were great, they love their students but my classmates were very disrespectful and rude. Whenever there are subs in the classroom, the kids act like monkeys and are very annoying. We almost got our luncheon taken away because of some students and I can assure you that the principal knew who caused it. The kids nowadays like to smoke and drink because they think it's cool. I mean, every school has their problems but what really made me mad was the fact that there were kids who would always get in trouble and NEVER got expelled. They didn't even get detentions. Then there's kids that rarely got in trouble and BAM! Out of school suspension. How can you have a great school without great discipline? I am now in high school and it's way better. I'm away from all the stress my classmates gave me. Absolutely hate this school.

Hi i am a student in the 6th.And I find it sad that when the teacher is trying to teach the class the students. And the student constantly interrupt him and if you are trying to learn something it is very distracting. The students are so bad that the teacher dose not want to come to school. And there is a LOT of bulling in this school.But the teachers are over all pretty good. - M and M

We'll i am please to say that teachers are great. They take the time to help your child and motivate them to be better at what they can. I love that every one knows my child not because she is cute, funny or gets along with everyone. They know my child because she gets all A's because she likes to read, loves math and many more. She's ans A student because my child receive from an excellent and well dedicated teachers who strive to be better with their students. My child can look forward to graduate and to be in an excellent high school.
