I was a student at this school and I’ll tell you my experience, although it won’t be enough space to explain. I only went to this school for 2017-2018, only one year so it might’ve changed. I’m going to make this simple as possible. Okay #1 Negativity was a huge prob for me. Everyone was always cursing, hurting each other, getting bad grades, etc. This school was super violent in my opinion. There was a student choking others, almost killing them. There was always fights. #2 Sexual Harrasement. There was too much sexual harrasement, there was something “special” for each day except Monday. For example, Thursday is slap thigh Thursday. That is the only most appropriate one. The rest were much more sexual and it’s pretty much sexual assault. It includes touching others in private areas. I am a victim of this behavior. #3 Teachers. Teachers were doing fine at their job but they didn’t really take care of the negativity, there was always bullying and cursing and so much abuse they didn’t catch. Sometimes they suspected something but they were either blind or just tolerated with it. Kids kept doing the same thing. Obviously teachers and staff did give punishments like detentions, suspensions, etc. But they were mostly blind. I really didn’t like this school, don’t send your child at this school, unless it actually got better after I left. The rating just keeps going down and up so now I don’t even know. Okay have a nice day and thank you for taking your time to read! Bye!

I have a 6th and 8th grader and so far I have to say I am really impressed with the principle and all the staff at how helpful they are with my questions and how welcome they have made my children feel. I also know several Will Rogers families from previous years and I must say I've not heard one complaint.

Admin at this school is too tolerant of negative student behavior. It seems like they turn a "blind eye" to cussing & bullying.
