My daughter and her friends, for the past year and a half, have been relentlessly bullied by one girl and her circle of friends. They have slammed lockers in their face, shoved them, verbally abused them, and so on. Luckily my daughter hasn't faced it as bad as other people, but her friends have, including a sweet young boy that is new to the school this year. He and two others were sexually harassed by the same girl, and, upon going to the guidance counselor, the girl got one single day of ISS. Also, my daughter told me about how 4 boys were throwing food, and the entire 8th grade got in trouble, and has to sit in groups of homerooms now, and the teachers won't seperately punish the 4 boys, no matter how many times kids have kindly suggested it. This greatly worries my daughter, as none of her friends are in her homeroom, and she doesn't want to have to sit by herself, because lunch is the only time she gets to see all of them.

This school is absolutely horrible. The teachers either give out too much homework for everyone to do in a too-short period of time, or they are way too lenient with homework, and rarely give out homework assignments. The teachers aren't effective, as most don't know how to teach correctly, much less herd an entire school wherever they need to go. They expect the kids to listen to the subs and do work that was assigned the day the sub was supposed to be at the school, but the substitute rarely knows anything about the subject! Leadership at this school is quite ineffective, because, again, the teachers don't know how to do their job, and when Mrs. Cowan was at the school last year, she didn't so anything to deal with major problems. It has gotten slightly better with the new principal this year, but the teachers will still lash out at the students every time they get their feelings hurt. All the kids at the school curse, even in front of teachers, and the teachers do nothing about it. I have personally seen the gym teacher tell the kids that if they shove people again, or don't do what they're supposed to do, or wear the wrong shoes to gym, they will get in trouble, but the gym teacher hasn't done anything about it all year, but he will yell at kids for using racial slurs and cursing. Oh wait, but he doesn't say anything when the same disgusting words come out of the mouths of the boys that are on the basketball team he coaches. Kids with learning differences are ruthlessly bullied, and again the teachers turn a blind eye. Or even kids without learning differences. A girl in my daughter's friends class was sexually harassing him and his two friends, one of which was a girl. She would spank them and try to stick things in their pants, and other crude things, and upon going to the guidance counselor about it, the guidance counselor did nothing, and the girl got ISS for the rest of the day, and that was it. The same girl got in a fight with another popular girl, and slammed her (the second girl) head against the brick wall, sending her to the hospital. Nothing was done other than one full day of ISS for the both of them. Not all of the kids in the school are out of control, but the good kids still get punished for it. For example, my kid told me about how people throwing food (4 people) got the entire 8th grade having to sit with homerooms. This school is bad.

The teachers are too lenient with the homework, rarely giving any out, or are the complete opposite, giving out way too much homework and not giving the kids enough time to do it.

The teachers don't know how to teach, much less herd an entire group of 8th graders around in the lunch room. They lash out at the students every time they get their feelings hurt, and if any of the students have a different opinion of how the punishment should be, they punish the kids. Other teachers favor the kids who play sports, like the gym teacher, who told all the kids that if they shoved people, didn't participate, wore the wrong shoes, or cussed, they would get sent to in school suspension. He has yet to enforce those rules, though he does yell at kids for cussing and using racial slurs, except if they are on his precious basketball team.

Not many staff have these traits so how could they teach them.

Posted: February 2, 2017

They rarely reenforces skills at home which they should for kids that may need extra support.

Horrible school. Made a hugh mistake in enrolling my kids. Once I expected more from them in order for my kids to succeed they double talked me. Made me feel inadequate and slowly weened me out as their advocate. Don't put your special needs children here.

Staff offers No leadership to follow as example. This school does nothing to control bulling but they will tell you all day that they do. A lot of children are afraid to go to school here.

This school is terrible, the principle does nothing when parents have concern on their child's curriculum. She wants (Mrs. Davis) to do reverse psychology on the students, parents and staff. Every day the school has some kinda of altercation. My child was bullied all the time and resulted to having to defend himself, which in return resulted punishment for him. The school only waits till altercations occur to do anything. The education and bulling got so bad that I sold my house and moved to another state where my children are much happier and doing very well educationally at school. Please check out this school before enrolling our child. Staff are friendly to your face until you have concerns and want to be involve in your child's education. And God help you if your passes all his classes with A's B's and a C in math but didn't pass the END OF GRADE TESTING they will hold them but NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR SAY.
