My son came home asking for money to give to his teacher. I asked him what he was talking about, and he said she gave out food during a movie and he wanted to pay her back. I told him he wasn't allowed to have that particular snack and was upset teachers were handing out food and breaking their own policies. The kids are not allowed to bring in cupcakes on their birthday but the teachers can hand out whatever food they want? I called the school and left a message. The teacher that handed the food out was my son's homeroom teacher, and oddly I got a call back from his English teacher. She told me she was calling on behalf of his homeroom teacher and that "I needed some perspective on this because she was only doing it to be kind" I was BLOWN AWAY that this teacher did not have the guts to call me back, but had another teacher call me and berate me when they BROKE THEIR OWN RULE. Its not a kind gesture when you don't want your kid eat garbage in the middle of the day, when I packed him a nice full lunch. Not only that, the first week of 7th grade a boy took a picture of my son while he was using the bathroom. Let's not forget the fights and vaping problem. I am disgusted with this school and am looking at other options.

They do nothing about bullying. All they do is send you into a room for ''time-out'' or ISS. They don't have proper administration. There already has been 4 fights this year between students. My child does not feel safe at this school.

When I look at my daughters grade I see al NHI's even though she has done her work. Often times teachers will never go back and look at late work even though the teachers have told me they would go back because of this she has failed multiple times because of the teachers. She has also been catcalled and sexaully harased on school property. This school also activiley allows bullying and harassment. Guidance counslers often don't do much and bullying continues to occur and also happens of school property.

My kids go here. The school doesn't follow court orders set in place so one parent is left out. I send in a copy of our court order every year and my ex sends in a hand written note saying not to contact me or tell me anything and they don't. They allow a child to completely disrupt my daughters classes. She whines, complains, doesn't do her own work, falls asleep in class and has even stood up in class and put her hands down her pants. I complained they have done nothing. Her Mom helps from time to time at the school so the rules don't apply to that student. I know all schools have problems but breaking court orders and allowing one student to cause a classroom full of kids to not learn on a regular basis isn't the way it should be. If you teach children to not break the law because of the consequences you will face and do it themselves just isn't the way the school should be run. Plus one of the teachers gets her nose in my ex's and I's business through my daughter. I thought you go to school and learn not have a teacher ask you personal questions about their parents.
