Most of the teachers are alright in trying to help the students (who mostly don't want to learn) and the children here are overall just chaotic. There are regular fights, and constant arguing, and most of the classes are behind on the subjects meant to be taught, and just a lot of incidents that cause my opinion of this school to drop. (There are also lots of racist or homophobic people in this school) (Students have made a teacher of mine cry multiple times within the couple of months we've been here.)

I never in a million years thought I would homeschool a child, but this school made it happen. Four weeks into school and in at least 3 of my kids classes they still have not done one thing. Literally nothing. The teachers yell constantly and the majority dont seem like they want to be there. A small percentage even bothered ever replying to my messages on the app that they told us to communicate through. My child came home with awful stories every day and had a slew of medical issues and panic attacks due to anxiety related to going to school, after never having issues like this before in previous schools. I will say a few teachers and guidance counselors really did seem to be concerned and care, but they cant save the school on their own.

Worst school ever! The Advanced class Teachers do not know how to speak, spell, or do simple math correctly. The principal is not engaged at all except the attendance rate. I know first hand because when I asked a simple question about my daughters classes, he simply replied, get in touch with the Data Manager. My next stop is the superintendent.
