My experience with this school has been quite mostly terrible. Students are not assisted; accordingly, they are usually left in the dark if they fail a large grade. As well as them allowing 2 Failing classes to pass instead of assisting the students. I believe if any failing classes qualified for a hold-back, our school learning average would increase. Staff are failing us students, not ourselves. I agree that students possibly don't make an effort, but is that not a teacher's job to make plans fun and engaging, or shall those who don't listen blatantly, or have undiagnosed attention disorders, etc not get help? Students are also frequently told by other students that counselors will immediately tell their parents about anything they say to them, thus not allowing them to ask for help. In my experience this school has much to work on. Sincerely, A concerned student.

Horrible experience. Bullying issues that are not resolved. Rude office staff. Unhelpful and uncaring administration that does not care about children's safety or their education. Mrs. Glover is a terrible principal and encourages bullying while also being a bully herself. I hope she doesn't make it past a year at this school because she certainly can't handle the position.

Over all it’s not the best school to attend. Over just the first 4 1/2 weeks there has already been several fights in the hallway,the cafeteria,and several classrooms.All of the kids there get away with bullying/teasing as well as being racist.Over the SEVERAL schools that feed into it (there are the three teams) it’s “split up” meaning most of those schools are grouped into the same team with a few castaway’s. At lunch to quiet us down, they put the microphone WAY to close to the speaker and it BUSTS EARDRUMS.

THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE I AM A FORMER STUDENT. Ok now that that's out of the way let me explain. Most of the teachers here wish they were retired because of the students. Our classes were well known for driving away subs and making them leave DURRING CLASS. That's how bad we were . There were frequent fights in classrooms and in the halls most of them not being broken up by teachers but other students. The food here tastes like cardboard, some of the milk WAS CHUNKY LIKE FULL ON CHEESE but only the white milk. A part of the fence is down in the track facing the road. There are rats and bats living inside of the school. The bathrooms are permently stained and will forever smell terrible. One of my former teachers was fired for not doing his job and yelling at students. I have so many stories to tell about this place and im sorry that this is all over the place but this hellish place makes me so mad. Im so glad that im on to ninth grade and never have to go here again.
