This school is amazing. The teachers are dedicated and are passionate about their subjects. The staff is wonderful and care for the students well being. The students are kind and friendly. The principal and vice principal are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. They have activities and engaging clubs. I 100% recommend this school.

Horrible. They don't know what their left hand is doing from their right. I took my daughter out of the school, followed the withdrawal procedure, but she was still being counted as a student. She was marked as absent for two weeks then dropped for no attendance. The office played dumb like they always do when I brought it up to them.

The teachers often times don't give the assignments out on time and then blame the student for not turning it in on time

They are not attentive, they are rude and condescending, and they play stupid when you raise a concern you have

They don't do anything to the bullies. The nurses are negligent, I'm actually surprised they haven't been sued. The office staff is a joke, they always don't know what is going on. I can't point out enough how rude they can be.

The principal is arrogant and loves to hear herself talk. She won't contact you back in a timely fashion, more often than not you have to pester her until she finally gets back to you.

Never really had to utilize any of that, but based on my own experience, my bet would be that they're just as bad when it comes to this.

My daughter got bullied there on multiple occasions and nothing was ever done. It took me going in there to make them do something about it.

In this school you will get taught important characteristics and who you are as a person.

The leadership is very strong and important about this school.

They are okay with disabled kids but they arent even taught in that field, but they do better than most other schools I have been to much better.

The thing about it is if you lay low you dont have to deal with any bullying, people are so chill they dont care about bullying you.

This school was amazing, I honestly didnt learn as much as I would like but you make life long friends at this school, its such a wide group of people you will find you best friends here, no matter what you like, this school helped develop myself, it felt like another family. (And yes I had my days) I would cry and feel sad about school but really I would still have friends at the end of the day because whats more important when we all grow up? Those stupid fractions you will never use? All those random words you will
Never say? Or is it about your integrity, your personality, not some fake, your friends you will have forever, the people you love. This school may not be the best but its where you will feel like you belong. Theres so many races and ethnicities, theres so many different people, its really hard to find a school like that. If you are going to this school and worried, dont be at all you will fit in in no time and make the best friends youve ever had. (Also note I wasnt in the popular group and I did fine) :)

They dont do a lot of homework, but when they do its on important matters which is what a school should do!
Posted: August 14, 2019
Most teachers are effective, but the some that arent just dont really care, but its better than most schools.
Posted: August 4, 2017
They have so many subs they can't keep track of assignments and the kids are punished
Posted: August 4, 2017
The teachers seem to either be there for a check or are in fear of their own safety they turn their heads
Posted: August 4, 2017
The majority of the students are bullies, disrespectful, hateful children
Posted: August 4, 2017
Hahaha there's no leadership at this school, except for leadership in the bullying department.
Posted: August 4, 2017
This school doesn't address nothing. The school is beyond out of control and something needs to be done
Posted: August 4, 2017
I wouldn't even rate it. I wish I went with my gut after them not being enrolled in a school for 2 weeks at the beginning of the year due to the reputation the school already had! It should be closed!

My child has just finished her 6th grade year at Secrist and i have to say this has been the worst experience i have ever had with a school. The bulling and disrespect these kids here is just the tipping point. The staff and teachers are just there to collect a pay check. They do not show any type of concern about your child's future or safety. My daughter went to this school and a & b student has since failed art and math. The teachers has never reached out with their concerns and never responded to any call or emails until the last week of school when it was to late. I am very disappointed as i went to Secrist 7th and 8th grade and had wonderful experiences. Now my child has been exposed to blatant disrespect and not caring for school.
