I have never heard of any instances of bullying during my daughter's four years at this school, so I cannot honestly answer this question.

This was a great experience for my student. My husband and I were so glad we sent our daughter here.

Is there a lot of homework - yes! But there are many opportunities to make it up.

The teachers, staff and administrators are so dedicated. I think some parents forget that it's a partnership between teachers, student AND parents. The responsibility should not only be on the teacher to ensure a student is doing what should be done, the parent should also ensure the student is doing what should be done!

The school can give out a ton of homework at times, but you can turn work in late and get up to 70% on the assignment. This isn't great for 4.0 students but it is great for struggling students.

They let students do a lot of self led groups and clubs

Teachers put in very little effort to teac students. They give very little time to lean material and does not review to see if the class understands before moving on to new material. Teachers also have fallen back on giving help to students and tells them "struggle" and figure it out.

The school gives extreme amounts of homework and with very little help to complete most students don't complete homework because excessive amounts of it is assinghed daily in every class
Posted: February 15, 2017
Extreme amount of work daily if a day is missed your grade falls to a failing grade because there is no D's and it takes so much work to get them back to passing. Homework is insane no time for anything other than school no time for sports or extra activities

Bully is suppended and nothing changes students return to school after susspention and are still bully's
