My experience at the school was not a great one this school is a school I will not recommend anyone to attend. The teacher do not care what the students do I remember me getting bullied and I had to go to the office in it took weeks to solve. The school is very dirty do not go here I repeat do not go here unless you want to get bullied,Get sick,

My son was ambushed andbforced to fight with another student. There were no adults present and I have video footage only because it was recorded by another student while this happened and posted on Instagram. I'm going to social media as well as the media to ensure Justice this is not fair and not what I expect from a school.

This schools has come a long way academically. But I must say it it the most unorganized that school I have ever seen! My child is in Chess Club and they released the kids early and didn't notify any parents (Which has happened more than once). I went up to pick my kid up and they had no clue where she even was. They dont even know who is in Chess Club! They have no list of names NOTHING!!!! They do not watch who picks up your child/children. My childs relative picked her up amd she isn't even on the list of who is allowed to pick up from school. Thank god it was ok and not her father who is not legally privileged to pick her up. Aalso, thry changed my kids teacher never told me or why. Noot even an introduction letter for the parents, no courtesy, noo organization. They have a great assistant principal, and some good teachers. I am zoned to this school and its very unfortunate. They have alot of bullies ( which they do well with addressing it but it has too be brought to their attention majority of the time) annd the kids there curse the nastiest words i wouldn't spurt out to my worst enemy. They tell you when your child has a day off or school events only 24 hours prior. Its EXTREME chaos, they dont know what is up or down. It's very unfortunate because there is potential with some of these amazing teachers and all of their work they need to get organized and keep the parents informed.

The website doesnt even have updated information as of 6 years... the principle and vice principle are both incorrect that lets me know A) nobody took the time to do their job sense 2008 B) Being as tho both principle and vice have sense left and been replaced recently i take it the staff isnt even satisfied with this school.
