School Stuff & Social workers have been equally unhelpful, focusing on dismissing complaints rather than addressing or resolving the underlying issues, provide a help. The Football team- no motivation for success for the kids- every game was lost.Very bad for the kids.No team leaders and mentors to help teenagers to success in the future. Students are openly smoking weeds at the bathrooms and teaching other to smoke, there is no enforcement to stop it. There is also no support from school counselors and stuff ***''attitude I'm doing my job and don't bother me'', appear disengaged and unconcerned to help or find a solution to help a students, dig deeper to the issue?-nope.

This school is the best school Ive been too. Its welcoming, fun, and it has high expectations. Of course there is going to be a problem with drugs, thats everywhere. The staff does everything possible to stop that problem. My only complaint is the bathrooms. There are 3 main stalls, and one handicapped stall. There is almost 3,000 students at that school. We need more stalls. Not only that but they lock the bathrooms a lot. There may be 1-2 bathrooms open for the whole campus at times. Other than that, the school is as great as it can be.

This school is absolutely the worst school ever. None and I mean none of the teachers care enough to actually teach. The staff does nothing about the kids in the bathroom who do drugs because in their fickle minds they can just look the other way and its not their problem. IT IS YOUR PROBLEM GET THOSE GIRLS OUT OF THE BATHROOM SO I CAN PEE. Also we had a thing this year where the last month of school there was absolutely no toilet paper in the stalls like at all. That was nasty. I had to wipe my behind with a paper towel. (Granted Im surprised the paper towel was even there since the whole school year the teachers have been hoarding it for their own bathrooms)
Anyway this school actually sucks dont come here ever.

There has been 7 fights this year, a gun magazine on the floor, students being attacked with milk in the lunchroom, and school administrators has done nothing about this and instead choose to sit on their phones and not monitor anything. When confronted the administration blames the issues on the parents and does not take action against the students who are breaking the rules

This school is annoying, and local problems are because the cafeteria is overcrowded, and some students stand up or sit down on the floor to eat. They have an issue with wasps I have seen a lot of wasp nest around the school, and even some in front of classrooms, and the bathrooms smell bad there is sometimes food on the urinals or floor.

Great teachers that will do everything that they can for their students. Support staff is great and helpful. Athletics and clubs are well run and offer a variety for all different types of students. My son has had a great experience.

From an academic stand point, the school is just ok. Nothing above or anything. There isn't a variety of clubs.
The A/C wasn't working (before COVID, during 2019-20 school yr. Though it may have changed, but still. it was like that for almost a yr).
Socially speaking, the students here act like they're nice, but they really arent. Be careful on who u r friends with. Students are just fake. Dont have high expectations on ppl.
Teachers were ok. Some cared some didn't. Nothing out of the extraordinary.
This is the first school that I see the principal walking around school at all times, which is a good thing.

5/10 you have no air conditioning and teachers who are paid to teach but would rather spend their time embarrassing the students

This school is terrible I went there for 3 weeks and just couldn't stand it anymore. I really hated this school. Too many weird kids and the schedules are always messed up, classes were overcrowded, fights, cafeteria was terrible, AC never seemed to work right, the XC team I went to run with was terrible. After three weeks I left for online school I was miserable there. Too many people speaking Spanish too like what??

Teachers don't stick up for bullied kids because that would be extra work for them
Posted: April 10, 2016
A bunch of teachers make you do busy work and constantly force parents to buy unnecessary things such as outfits in economics. It's expensive

I love this school! The teachers are extremely helpful honestly. This school is in a good area, and the kids are really nice. One thing I do reccommend is that teachers look at the students more closely, certain kids carry hookah pens in their pockets and smoke it at school! and there is a group of boys that are extremely loud in the hallways. Other than that, I really appreciate this school
