First, the dean threatened to call the police on me for being depressed. That day I was really sad because someone was bullying me and at the end I got into the principals office and the bully didnt. I only got one day of mental help and it was very useless either way. All the dean did was scream in my face instead of calming me down. Second, a student was singing up for the military with another students email and put his name as the president of North Korea and my classmates told the substitute she didnt even tell the teacher even WORSE the principal and he always makes sexual assault jokes and also about world war 2 and also racism and didnt get trouble. 3rd someone literally searched a really inappropriate guy if you know who Im talking about on my computer and nothing was investigated of who it was neither got in trouble because the teachers or subsitutes do not do anything. 4th, many people once got called out of class to the cafeteria due to certain amounts of absences it might sound like a good idea but some people got in trouble because they were sick and couldnt even go to school. Than the Dean and principal have the audacity to scream at them. 5th and lastly extremely bad education on my first 2 fasts I got level 1-2 and they put way to much homework and al they literally care about is money you literally need to pay money for the stupidest dress downs Ive ever heard over. Sadly the only reason I dont want to change schools is because of my friend but honestly do not go to this school its really bad.

My kids have been in PNP for the last 6 years, and I honestly became disappointed towards the last 2 years of them being there. The Biology Honors teacher is a disappointment. Out of all the classes one of my children had, this is the only class it was a bad grade, having only A's and B's on the rest. I emailed the teacher multiple times on how I can help my child succeed and was only handed the same email, I provide videos for them to see. I had high expectations on the level commitment from teachers, and this one was disappointing. I decided that PNP no longer has the values I thought they had in their elementary years, and I have low expectations on their high school classes if the principal doesn't hold her educators at a high academic level. Other than that, I also felt that they constantly asked for payment for everything, and it has increased over time. Non educationally involved.

I am very disappointed with how this school handled the end-of-year activities. I was charged $450 for events my daughter was unable to attend because she was failing biology. After everything, only $180 was refunded, and I was told the remaining balance would be considered a donation. I do not believe it is fair to keep parents money for activities their child could not participate in.

On top of that, the biology teacher was extremely unhelpful, and communication from the staff was poor throughout the situation. Instead of working with families and supporting students, the school made the experience stressful and frustrating. Parents deserve transparency, fairness, and respect when it comes to school fees and student support

Ive been at this school for two years now, and honestly, I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. One of the biggest problems is how money-focused the school feels. Almost everything costs extra fees: clubs, activities, dress-up days, and more. Some of those things are genuinely fun, but it gets frustrating when students constantly have to pay just to participate. Its stressful for both kids and parents. On top of that, the uniforms are ridiculously expensive$60 for a jacket is absurdand the school refuses refunds no matter the situation. Another issue is how the staff handles problems. Serious concerns are often ignored, while smaller things get treated like a huge deal. There have been reports about a teacher giving an inappropriate assignment involving social media, yet nothing seems to have happened afterward. Some teachers also barely teach and instead pile on endless assignments, which honestly just burns students out over time. At the same time, students can get detention over tiny issues, like wearing the wrong shoes. I was even told to stop holding hands with my friendwho is the same gender as mewhile we were trying to get through a crowded hallway. And speaking of hallways, this school is horribly overcrowded. You can barely move between classes, yet students are only given five minutes to get from one class to another. Meanwhile, actual bullying and teasing are often overlooked. Certain popular students constantly make other peoples lives miserable and sometimes even disrespect teachers, but they rarely face real consequences. There have also been issues involving smoking and weed that only got addressed once they became impossible to ignore, which honestly makes me wonder what else happens behind the scenes that the school just hasnt found yet. Personally, Ive been teased for a lot of things, whether its my clothes, hair, or personal preferences, and after a while it becomes exhausting when nobody really steps in. This school creates the kind of environment where many students do not feel comfortable being themselves. Overall, I wouldnt recommend this school. Im usually the type of person who hates changing schools and prefers to stick things out, but this is honestly the first school that has ever made me want to leave willingly.

Mi experience con esta escuela , que este año fue un tremenda decepcion, mi hija este año tenia su graduacion de 8th grado al principio de año nos pidieron pagar 450 dolares. Del paquete que incluia ( la fotografia con el cap y gown) lo cual no la tuvieron luego casi al final del mes dijeron que no Iban a tener esa foto ni mucho menos usar el cap y gown para la ceremonia del final del curso (8th grade) en ese paquete solo incluyo el viaje a Orlando que duro mas tiempo estar en el bus que en el mismo parque ( 4 horas del cual la mayoria de los chicos solo pudieron Montarse a 3 o 4 juegos) la camiseta que costaba $10dolares, y el famoso desayuno del cual ni nutritivo solo azucar .TREMENDA DECEPCION PARA TODOS. Mi hija se va de esa escuela no vale la pena seguir ahi (HIGHSCHOOL) porque a la hora de dar reconocimientos solo piensan en los etudiantes que les ha ido super Mal y los demas que llevan buenas notas desde el inicio del año no les toman en cuenta solo por llevar A" eso no es.justo. porque mi todos los esssays que hizo mi hija. La maestra los mostraba de ejemplo y para que sirvio para NADA mi hija necesita tmabien ser RECONOCIDA. Horrible horrible experience en esta escuela que solo les importa que le paguen todo lo que ellos cobran.

I am an EX-HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT from this school. and i only lasted 3 months. This school is horrible. Teachers could care less about what you have to say and do and always have favorites. Parents are constantly mistreated and screamed at in this school. Students get in trouble for the most stupid reason and they never want to hear your parents try to speak up for you. This school is definitely covering up low student scores because the teachers teach nothing but garbage!! Information that i not needed whatsoever for any of the state exams and its just such a big waste of time. They only care about money and have unnecessary payments for everything. Teachers have a nasty attitude considering they chose the jobs themselves but they are extremely SELFISH. If you want your kid to learn and grow socially, parents do not put your kids in here for their well being. Attending this school was worst than a boot camp. And i was a super good and popular student here too but i am forever HAUNTED AND TORMENTED how they treat the students.

as a current student at this school ive been treated with disrespect and criticism for my disabilities. The teachers dont even care about my 504 plan, there is many times ive asked for extra time and space due to my adhd and autism and they never give it to me, they have gotten me in trouble for things that arent even my fault, i understand there is some diamonds in the rubble in this school. all they want is money, the school is greedy, they never care for the wellbeing of students. there has been times here where a student has been sexually harassed and the staff had done nothing about the situation. i would NOT recommend this school for anyone who is looking for a public charter school, the administrators here abuse their power, and the dean of discipline is very sexist. the physical education teachers are very touchy and it makes me uncomfortable. please, do NOT take your kid to this school.

ever since I stepped foot into this school, I have only been treated with disrespect and felt very unwelcome, students are really mean to me in the hallways and in class and teachers could care less about my emotional being. just at the first month of this school a teacher made me stay the whole day at the office because I forgot to bring a belt, causing me to fail a test she was giving and also didn't give me the chance to redo it, this isn't the only time I've been sent to the office for stupid reasons. the other day I was sent to the office because I wrote on the school's book and even though it is something that I shouldn't have done they turned it into a big deal telling me my mom would have to pay 119 dollars for the book causing me to have a breakdown, the worst part is that when I put my head down a student started making fun of me but of course they don't notice that.
also the uniform is horrible the shoes they make us wear are extremely uncomfortable and I have tripped many times wearing them.
the principal is also very inconsiderate she could care less about the school's needs, my mom and other parents have tried to get in contact with her but she is never at the phone.
in conclusion this is an extremely strict school that only wants the money and students to keep coming, neglecting the students needs and feelings.

The previous terrible comments dont describe how terrible this school is , this year a student was discriminated for a disability she has and was made go to the school and then kicked out the same day. The teachers choose favourites , if youre not a popular student then the teachers are not going to talk to you or pay you much attention, I have to say I send my regards to SOME teachers that treated my daughter and other students equally and actually cared about teaching. The school is neglected by its principal, the school is basically ran by two immature, two faced adults that are called the vice principals when in reality they are just following orders from their boss . The kids that behave bad dont get in trouble , since the school started every year for the past three years there is always a vaping incident and I can assure you those kids get in minimal trouble while a student could have the wrong shoes and get sent to the office have their parents called and miss a day of class. The uniform is uncomfortable and ugly every piece of the uniform for that school is horrendous. Lastly Ill like to add that the school only cares about money whenever the school gets the chance theyll have you pay for something, the only good thing that school has is the front office staff.

Terrible school, kids are very low class and they have a very bully mentality. Teachers pick favorites and the real trouble makers do no get in any trouble.

People are strange and annoying, some teachers are mean, you can get in trouble for stupid reasons, all in this school is MONEY (they care about money), they left so many homework (more than they should do). This school is so weird, the children in my periods, they just joke disgusting things and they can insult/ say something bad about you, cause of stupid reasons. I dont recommend this school. And so many people in my periods, dont like this school just as me. One of the not so much things that I like of this school are my friends, I have some funny friends that can help me and be with me every time, but this is just one of the only things that I like of this school. Theres more things that I dont like from this school. If you are going to this school, think more than twice.

This school is terrible. My Son is being bullied by not only other students but from teachers and staff members. This school did not live up to my expectations. Although some of the teachers are very sweet and nice, most arent. My son also gets in trouble for ridiculous things that sometimes are not even his fault. Teachers also never talk to the students about their actions, they always result on calling the dean of discipline and he only accuses the students and Doesnt believe what they have to say and gives them detentions. Very bad school.

Posted: January 11, 2022

School is terrible everyday I see my son coming back from school crying because the staff is yelling at him or getting him in trouble for no reason. I do not recommend this school.

Posted: January 11, 2022

My child was bullied at this school and online by a student from this school. I tried reaching out to the principal but she was never available, so i spoke with the assistant principal who then had the dean of discipline follow up with me. After the school did an investigation, the student who was doing it admitted it was her and she was sent home for the day. After several forms and levels of bullying my child, the school felt like a 4 hour suspension was enough. The student was allowed back the very next day when she went on to brag to her classmates how she had not gotten suspended. The principal never once bothered to call as a follow up to see if my child was ok. or how the matter had developed. I have been here for 5 years and have to say that the teachers are amazing but the administration lacks a lot of empathy and professionalism. Don't EVER expect the principal to address you, your issues or your child's issues, she has not once been available through the years for anything. All she is concerned about is bringing more children/money to the school.
