Horrible I would never wish upon my worst enemy to attend it the teachers are bullys that take the power to there heads and punish students severely sometimes the students dont leave school until 6 maybe 7 because of either detentions or other punishments because the teachers have the power to make up a punishment for a student one teacher used to make us stand for an hour and we werent allowed to move or shift feet so it hurts our feet more

They give too much and punish kids for not finishing them or getting too much incorrect with detention
Posted: August 14, 2018
They make the students feel bad about themselves and give harsh punishments over small incidents
Posted: August 14, 2018
Most students end up contracting depression anxiety and many other mental health issues due to there heavy dependence on pleasing the teacher and making sure they arent getting a detention for either not finishing homework not doing it or getting wrong a homework answer

The leadership in students is nonexistent and the teachers force the students to partake in whatever the teacher feels

It sometimes neglects the special needs students and treats them badly sometimes

We have a about 3 or 4 special ed teachers that tailor every assignment to the childs specific needs if necessary.

The dean of students makes sure to get onto any case of teasing or bullying. The students involved or those who have even witnessed anything are required to file a report to help get down to the bottom of things.

Very good. The teachers and staff have always been there to support me and have helped me to go from an average public school student to and advanced student ready for what college has to throw at me.

We are given homework everyday. The homework and study guides that are given to us before test and exams are usually substantially harder than the test or exam itself that way when we take it it is even easier than what we prepared for.

They are always reaching out to parents and students that need help. There are constant opportunities to get help for free afterschool and during school. Even on Saturdays you can come into school and get help.
