Liked the place a lot but me and a lot of other people got bullied but nothing was really done about it, a lot of kids breaking the dress code but nothing done about it, needs more awareness of bullying

There's a bunch of racism and favoritism.A kid made a hitlist and put satanic signs in the boys stall and physically attacked a mentally handicapped kid and got suspended for 2 days.A new friend of mine has been depressed lately because she feels discrimination from a teacher.Theres a lot of white privilege at this school,I don't recommend for colored kids.They have amazing sports teams though.The staff tries really hard and tries to make middle school a great experience for every kid.

Bullying is a everyday thing there. Racial slurs are heard daily. Teachers ignore it! Terrible school.

bullying + harassment common, teachers usually very supportive and kind however little is ever done about bullying, very linear lesson plans, felt sucked of all creativity when here. slurs, homophobia, ableism, and teasing are common in students, dont send any child who is lgbtq+, special needs, or general minority here. its mostly the kids and the lack of action on bullying. teachers are good.

Bullying on school bus, in the school it self. Staff does very little, the school principal ignores or doesn't care. If I don't hear something getting done soon I'll be going to the school board directly and writing in to KDKA.
