They always run out of food, pick and choose who they want to dress code, and expect the students to come to the adults when something happens, yet when they do, the teachers do nothing about it or ignore them. Most teachers are careless and cruel; the school itself is dirty and they give "Campus cleanups" as punishments so they don't have to do their jobs. Kids consistently fight, reported harassment and bullying are ignored, and kids steal and the staff does NOTHING about it. The nurse is horrible, and the office staff is so rude. The counselors don't care about the students and it's overall one of the worst schools. Don't bring your kids here. The favoritism here is so clear, they don't even try to hide it.

Great teachers, care for the students. Terrible experiences with assistant principal Mr. Olivas. Completely gaslights students and doesn't allow them to properly open up, and makes unjust judgments. The other assistant principal is somewhat more understanding, but allows Olivas to speak for her. Students do not feel comfortable speaking to them, and that should be changed.

I had an amazing time at this school! All the other kids were so nice. The only problem was that the scores on the state tests were horrible and the teachers are careless.

I went to school here and honestly I was happy to get out of there . They focused more on the length of a girls skirt instead of her education . They focus on dress code rather than academics . But overall the atmosphere is absolutely disgusting . The teachers are not supportive at all . I can actually say that I was called stupid and ugly by teachers from my 3 years there which is absolutely outrageous , since when was is okay to tell a child these things as adults . This school needs to check themselves .

I entered this school this year, and it was absolutely amazing! The music program is wonderful! The teachers helped me so much with all their tutoring at lunch. I love the fact that they have student teachers at this school, they all have new techniques that really help us students learn more. I've met so many great students here. Another thing I like is all these awesome goals and awards that really make you try to succeed. I can't wait for next year! I definitely recommend attending this school!
