I used to be in this school, now Im a high school freshman. But this school wasnt all bad, obviously there were some students who made fun of me and hated me, but some teachers were chill and some werent, it kinda just depends what kind of teacher and classmates you get

If you love your kids, send them somewhere else. I wish I could give them 0 stars. My daughter has had MAYBE 5 teachers who taught instead of assigning worksheets. Of those 5, only 2 were actually good teachers. Some teachers, while sweet, speak minimal English so the kids struggle to learn the material. I actually care less about that than the rampant bigotry and misogyny. Girls are dress-coded if their shirt falls off their shoulder, often in the most humiliating way possible (one teacher said my daughter looked disgusting and that no one wanted to see that - she was wearing a shirt with a tank top (thick straps) under it and her shoulder showed. Another called trans students gross. This is not a safe space for children to learn and grow. The principal is a disgrace. We are leaving the school district because of it - please consider finding an alternative for your child.

Ive been a student at this school for 2 years, I came to this school expecting good things. Instead I got bullied about how my skin looks (I have eczema) and all the councilors told me was stay away from those people (they were in all my classes). Teachers deny you from using the restroom and ive had almost peed my pants for that reason. They can have some teachers that are nice but some that have their head up their butt. They are strict a little to much but I can understand why. Dont enroll your children in this school unless you want them to get bullied.

I like this school I really do. Some teachers are super nice and kind but there are some teachers who are mean, strict, and downgoing. the school is a bit too strict but I can understand why . Some teachers get mad a little too easily. Sometimes there are kids who get lunch detention for talking in line ( I'm one of those kids). I'm new to this school and I wish I could go back to my old middle school.

Would not recommend, terrible experience. Loved the elementary and expected great things at the middle school. Complete lack of leadership from the administration. Lack of communication. Lack of consequences when needed and where it mattered. No accountability for staff nor students. Sports department is desperately lacking in motivation by coaches and AD.

This school si very bad and cares absolutely nothing about education teacheres give us work and don´t care if we complete it most teachers get off task every day and never get anything done i would rather have my child homeschooled than for him to be in this school he certainley would have learn more than what he did in this school only a couple teachers are good in this school which is unacceptable.

Bullying is a serious problem at this school. Staff are quick to blame the system and place blame the conduct policy. Selected kids continue to get suspended and quickly return with same motives. Remove the problems so our kids have a safe environment . Sad you have to drop a kid off at school daily not know what will happen and the uneasy feeling. Staff are kind but no discipline what so ever .

Staff are scared of the students and have no discipline . Very unsafe feeling as a parent with a kid at this school.

My school is decent. Not all students are treated fairly and equally. The staff preaches that to us but they don't follow their own law. Some teachers grade papers harshly and they don't recognize hard work. A lot of the teachers think they are our age and backtalk us and disrespect us. For some reason we "have to respect them." Well, respect is earned not given. You have to give it to get it. Some teachers are genuinely nice and I like them. An example would be Mrs. Knight in 8th grade. Overall this is an okay school. You can learn at your own pace, but if you fall behind, don't expect teachers to help you. As long as you aren't absent a lot, you can survive the 3 years.

Not real happy with this school. The teachers my son has direct him to other students when he needs help, and load on projects..my smart funny guys has become fustrated and now hates school...changing next year

Hardly ever is there homework sent home or is there a test to study for. Teachers give students ISS for shooting paper because it falls into the category of bullying. Not too sure if this school should be operating.
