This is a horrible school!!! My son does not have an actual science teacher and his class has been self teaching using computer modules. This has made my son hate a subject he loved because he stated that he’s not learning anything in the “class”. I did tacos letter stating that my son’s did not have any certification or something to that effect. Which after talking to a retired Bartlett City teacher, she encouraged me to keep him at the school. After learning he doesn’t have a teacher that can answer his questions on the subject, I don’t think I’ll continue to let a school fail my child when it comes to education. A substitute teacher allowed the children to watch an R rated movie that has drugs, alcohol and violence. I don’t think is appropriate at school. Which at a school like this, I don’t think the type of people they have as staff members and students need anymore negative influence. The staff members are rude to the students and in my opinion high power. One of worst things I have seen was a staff member tell a student that was walking home that she couldn’t cross where he was stopping traffic for cars which would be safer, than her walking down the where there is a high traffic entrance and exit in the morning and afternoon and no one there to help her cross the street. She couldn’t see around cars the park by the curb to pick up students and cars are speeding and truly not paying attention to the students walking to or from school. They don’t care. They even leave students outside by themselves still waiting for their to pull around and get them so they can go home. I witnessed this yesterday afternoon.

Estoy viviendo la peor experiencia con mi hijo , me lo están acusando sin pruebas contundentes de haber consumido marihuana , fue expulsado por 180 días y voy a demostrar que no es así, mi hijo sufrió daños psicológicos al igual que toda la familia, va para 3 semanas sin asistir a su escuela la verdad es que estoy muy molesta e inconforme con esa escuela.

If I could give this school a zero I would.This school is.. I don’t even know how to describe it, but I do recommend you not sending your child here. There were bomb threats, and student brought guns to school. The teachers don’t communicate well. They do do well with disciplining student that bully. They don’t do well with student with bad mental health. There more but I don’t want to get into it

Do not recommend at all the school doesn't communicate with parents well and it's always some type of fight there. The school is very gehtto.

Do not recommend this school, teachers and staff are very rude, teachers have no remorse for the things they say. School overall may seem perfect on the outside, but on the inside is a totally different atmosphere.

Excellent - students can thrive here, as the adults truly care about the kids.

Great so far, with a little trepidation for second child entering this year. We have already been working on making it a positive experience and hope it continues when school starts and throughout the year.

Terrible school! Anything goes! No order, bullying, fighting, complete chaos!

Frankly, it isn't worth the one star...It appears since this is a "new" school that they are still discovering their leadership capacities. (2016-2017 School Year)

The teachers and guidance counselors are not going by the proper procedures when it comes to their students.

Where should I start???? My son was choked by another student at this school last year and the principal Angela Brown got mad at me for calling the police. She wanted me to keep it on the low or something but anyway to make a long story short, my son was caught horse playing with another little boy that's always poking people in their side with sharp objects!!! At first they said it was just horse play. The next day he came home with a suspension saying he was bullying the little boy! He also said Angela Brown said to him "remember when your moma called the police on that little boy and he didn't even hurt you!" Really??? How low can you get to do a child like that?? Smh! Wow! What kind of role models are they putting over our kids these days... On top of that.... my son needs tutoring and they still haven't got him a tutor. I been asking for one since the beginning of the school year. It's hard out here for a parent and the kids. You want to know something that's crazy??? This not even half the story of what we been through at this school!!!
