I cannot believe the level of communication this school has with parents when it really matters. I understand this high school and were teaching our children to be more independent but an incoming freshman coming into this school is lost and theyre very slow about getting lockers, gym lockers, delivering vital information like early outs every Monday, syllabus for every class so the students know what is expected. Not all kids remember information verbally. Some need documentation to refer back to. And if your child is a freshman trying out for sports no information is relayed to the parents about tryouts, transportation home, requirements for practice, nothing. Im not sure if its the leadership or the area the school is used to interacting with but communication is VERY LIMITED here. They focus so much on bilingual communication for forms and school spirit instead of communication. This is so opposite of the schools in the northwest side of town and very disappointing. If you move to this side of town on purpose be prepared to do a lot of calling and bugging to get the information you need from them. School barely started and I have called this school more than I ever did since my child started school in kindergarten!

Its not a great environment for due to the sheer amounts of racism that takes place on campus, I have been made very uncomfortable by insensitive students and very aloof staff.

The opportunity is there, the school is not as organized as it should be. The counselor is always busy. The teachers are great, if the student is respectful and follows rules. Traffic is ridiculous and I'm sure the school could talk to the city about making alternate route, I mean 4 schools on the same road within a mile of each other... You can imagine the nightmare on a daily basis getting your children to school and back, or hoping for safety while they walk! All details should be considered. I do worry about pesticides as it is directly across the street from a grape field.
