Hi, I’m a current student. I been here for a few years, and my experience here has been terrible. This school traumatized me so much. This school damaged my mental health. The teachers are okay, but some is just terrible. The teachers have a lack of supervision, on class, and free time. For an example, my friend was getting beaten up by another classmate. The teachers didn’t do anything, even though they were in yard duty. They were just talking, not focusing on their job. Me and my friend came and helped her. We told the teachers but they didn’t help at all. One time, in class there was a classmate bullying my tablemate, the teacher and student teacher was there in the class, but they didn’t help at all. The classmate was calling my tablemate terrible names. My tablemate got so upset by the bullying that they flipped over the table, threw his computer and screamed very loud. My teacher was out while the student teacher was there. My teacher came and help the situation, while the student teacher didn’t help at all. This student teacher is good at teaching but have a lack of supervision. Students here are very toxic. They will talk bad about you no matter what. They will talk bad about you even if you are their friend. You can never trust nobody here really. I had so many toxic friends in this school and it just ruined my mental health. I never felt safe to tell the teachers, I don’t feel comfortable in this school. Students here will bully you for no reason. And teachers do nothing at all to help. People here will hurt you purposely. Staff here is just terrible, they do not help nothing at all. Teachers and staff don’t help with anything, some of the teachers is just have a bad teaching style. Teachers and staff don’t help with anything bad, but they make a fuss when the person do nothing wrong. If you are a staff reading this, please do you job. It’s important to help the students here, mostly students here have a bad mental health because staff doesn’t do nothing at all. The staff here needs to help more with the students mental state and teaching. So please do your job.

I don't know how to start this, but I think the learning experience is okay. I've learned things here, but it's probably average compared to other schools and if I were to pick whether to come back here or live in the dumpster, I would pick the dumpster. The people here aren't nice, especially the students. Maybe they wouldn't be so insensitive if the teachers actually did something besides, "Don't do that again." That's not helping anyone. And "ignore them" is not helpful either. There's some staff who's helpful and actually cares about the students, but there's just some who's thoughts are questionable. There's this one teacher who doesn't even do a good job of teaching. All she does is show videos and doesn't explain it. Then she proceeds to give everyone a bunch of packets. Then she gets mad when her students fail her tests. Yeah I wonder why. This teacher seriously needs to take feedback and criticism because she needs help. I question on how she qualified as a teacher. She should do some training. Sometimes people get in trouble for no reason. A student got in trouble because they saw a fight. They only saw it, they weren't even in the fight. What makes it worse is that they got detention. What was the point? I seriously question people's decisions. Also, students here are super insensitive. Most of them don't care about what you have to say. I wonder how they have so many friends. Anyways I'm so glad that I graduated from this school. I've waiting for the day since forever. And I know that others feel the same because I heard them and I don't blame them. I do not recommend this school.

Hello, I am a current student and so far I've had a terrible experience here. It's been years since I've been here and it's not getting better, I would say it's getting worse. The teachers sometimes support you, but there's certain teachers who don't do anything. Sometimes there's a lack of supervision. When my friend got beaten up, no one did anything because the teachers weren't watching, they were just talking. It was only when me and some other friends went to help her. Even when we told the teachers, they didn't help at all. Most people here are talking smack about each other, no matter how nice the person they're talking about are. This could really hurt people's mental health, especially if they're struggling with anxiety. Also, a lot of people are toxic and even if the teachers know, they won't do anything. They'll just say ignore them or something, like it's going to work or something. They just make the situation worse sometimes. They also make the wrong person in trouble. One time, a group of students got in trouble. Why? It's because they saw a fight. Like that makes no sense, they weren't even in the fight. I'm pretty sure that the principal was the one who made them in trouble. The learning experience is okay, but it's the people make the school horrible, including teachers. This school is definitely not good for your mental health. So I do not recommend this school.

Horrible. I wish that I never went to this school at all. I never felt safe here. This school is the worst I've ever been too and it traumatized me in so many ways. And the students was the worst part. I would literally go home and cry myself to sleep because of everything that happened. The teachers never ever done anything about me and I just got pushed away and laughed at like everything I've been saying was a joke. The only advice that the teachers had was to ignore them even though that I've tried every day and nothing worked. I highly not recommend this school for anyone especially if your in the lbgtq+. Students are not open minded AT ALL. Specially if your different compared to them. For example one time I was walking to the P.e. room in a normal mood then I didn't realize that my bullies were near the p.e. room so I tried pretending that they were not there but then they starting calling me names and calling what I was wearing ugly. And suddenly the teacher came and I thought she'd saw everything and that she'd stick up for me. I was very wrong about that. She stuck up for them even though THEY were the ones BULLYING me. And she started screaming at me for no reason and she literally made the whole thing worse. Then I ran to the P.E. room and sat in the corner crying my eyes out. Then I walked out and went to the wellness room. Then the teacher barged in the wellness room without hesitation starting to tell the social worker how I didn't ask to go and stuff. And she didn't even apologize to me. I was upset all day and cried myself to sleep that day. This school just ruined me. And the fact that the teachers didn't even try helping me is insane. It got so bad that I started self harming because of everything that was happening to me. No student should go through what I went through. No child deserves this no matter what. And if any staff is reading this from this school. Please do your job and start preventing these types of stuff from happening. It can really work effect a students mental health. And not only did i get abused mentally but physically too. I got slapped,shoved to the ground, being hit by very hard balls on a purpose (all of them were in the eye for some reason) and the list goes on. And if your a student who is witnessing these types of stuff please go tell someone. No matter if the bully is your friend please tell someone.

I got my kids teachers cell numbers and I can asked question whenever it is out of office hours. She cares about the need after school and she responds to my question when I need her and can't wait until next school day.

i have now graduated from this school. Trust me, it was the best! If you're new to the school. Kids will quickly greet you, and want to know you. I've had the best 8 years of school ever. The teachers REAALLY help you when you need it. And also help you during hard times when you need the help. This school is a great school. - Student
