This school caters to the poor Hispanic population. Even though I pay $10,000 a year in school taxes I will pay out of pocket for my kids to go to a nearby school. Please be warned this school is complete trash and will not provide your child with any of the tools needed to succeed in the current or future job market. They have a dress code that teaches your child not to take pride in their appearance and to not express themselves. Instead of investing in STEMS the high school has invested in a "culinary program" (short order cook) which means they can effectively teach your child to work in a fast food kitchen. A high school culinary program will not get your child a job at a reputable restaurant where they will be able to support themselves. They have lowered their academic standards to help pus through the ESL students, this is terrible.

I think for its size it is one of the best high schools in the area, the Principal is a strong leader and the kids and the education process first. I wish every one would get off of the dress code issue, there is a real reason for it. First and foremost is equal education with no distractions. It is just part of the education process for life, following rules, what about our great men and women in the military do they follow a dress code, I hear no one saying anything about them. So give the school a chance to do whats best for all students. Thanks for a great job.

We are new to the area and my daughter's gades have improved she likes most of the teachers that she has.I believe the dress code that the school has s a good thing.The school in my opinion is a much better than the school she attended in Pennsylvania.
