My experience at this school feels like I go to the underworld and back every single day. The kids here all have severe issues and the school does absolutely nothing to support or encourage them. Bullying here is terrible, there are fights at least every week.The only reason I gave three stars is because I have nothing to do with my life and the school fights and drama were very entertaining. Honestly, I would recommend this school for kids who are bored very frequently as this school gives them something to do and teaches them how to mature faster and fend for themselves (in a semi-cruel way).

Moved here a year ago and even though school has been better for the kids I do see a serious lack of compassion when it comes to sports. There is a lack of compassion from the coaches and most of the parents. Many kids get dumped off on game day and the parents don't stick around to support their kids. I get that some parents may have to work but really if parents can, they should try to show up at some of the games a support them. A little love and support for all the kids in a team can go a long way. I have been to many different games were there are only two families there supporting the kids and one of them is my family. We all, including the community, should be there to encourage and support our kids. What's worse are the terrible coaches not just with one sport but all sports. Where is the enthusiasm, motivation and the will to encourage these kids. I see couches sitting on their butts with their arms folded and not talking to the kids at all. This is during games and practices. No encouragement, no smiles, nothing. They don't talk to the kids or try to get to know them. learn their weaknesses or their strengths. Soooo disappointed.
