The lack of accountability from the principal is deeply concerning. Repeated issues involving staff behavior have gone unaddressed, sending a clear message that standards are not being enforced.
When leadership fails to act, it creates an environment where inappropriate behavior is tolerated. Additionally, communication has been dismissive and at times disrespectful, which only adds to the frustration.
Students deserve better, and so do families.

My son has had no complaints with this school and his younger brother can not wait to start here this fall. Covid19 has changed some of the things he loves, like his intramurals, however he understands that is not the schools fault. He has no problem wearing his mask and has been happy with how the school year hybrid model is going. We've never had any problems with the staff or school.

This place is a prison. You cant go to the bathroom without a badge UNLESS YOU ARE ESCORTED LIKE A CRIMINAL. If you want your kids to dread the end of their weekend then come on in. If you want miserable kids then here is the perfect place.

I have had three kids go through this school. Theyve had teachers that theyve loved and those that they felt were fine, but theyve always left prepared for HS and saying they had a good experience. The current administration is amazing, especially under the circumstances. We moved here specifically to be a part of the PH school district and are thankful, every day, we did!

We moved our son mid-year from a private school setting because we felt he needed a more rigorous academic program with teachers who were equipped to deal with special educational needs. The teachers and staff here are amazing. We were able to meet with his assigned team and all discussed a best approach. Teachers came in early to help him catch up to the learning curve and within a few short months he went from failing all subjects to nearly all A's and B's. The teachers really care about their students. Couldn't be more pleased with our experience here.
