I am not saying the school is bad but if I had a choice as a parent I would not take my child here. The school is just too mediocre and it feels like they care more about statistics than the success of students. Most of the teachers do not actually teach they just give you a packet and go on with their day.

It's not as bad as a lot of people say it is. It is very overcrowded, but that's really the only problem. I heard there was a lot of fights here, but I have yet to see any.

There are fights every day. Faculty rarely tells parents about it but it's all over social media. The halls are so overcrowded kids often come to a full stop, despite COVID. There are some great teachers, but most don't care about the kids. They care about compliance. They don't nurture or pay attention to different learning styles. They aren't there to shape minds and hearts. Instead they seem to enjoy lording power over kids versus actually engaging them and making a difference.
Guidance counselors are a joke and barely check in. Parental involvement doesn't make a difference.

It's not a bad school , but you have to continuously reach out to the staff regarding your student.

This is a good school. There are students who attend this school and take every opportunity they have to learn and join various sports teams or clubs. Then there are students who just go to school to pass time and hang around in clicks. If only every student really wanted to learn, develop social skills and make goals for their future. These students are the future of our country. All students need good leadership and qualified teachers but they also need the examples of parents who show moral responsibility, dependability, a good work ethic and most of all love. This could be a GREAT school if everyone, including some students did their job. I am the grandparent of students who attend North County.
