It's hard to find a good school in this area, but we had heard good things about the High School and our kids were entering middle school. It was close to home and a choice school, so we chose to send first one child, and then the next year their sibling.
Our first year experience there was mostly good. We had little to no communication from the teacher, but our child thrived in their first year of middle school and we were thrilled, coming out of virtual learning and back into in-person school.
But the following year they promoted the principal of the school and brought in a new one for the middle school. As our second child entered their first year there, we noticed a big change.
First off, while my first gifted child did well, my special needs child went ignored. When we tried to communicate with the teachers, we got the usual no response. It took calls to the administration and weeks to get responses. Meanwhile, our child was failing most of thier classes. We discovered thier 504 wasn't being followed, they had ignored our concerns about placement in advanced classes, and ultimately we had to choose homeschooling mid-year.
Meanwhile, events at the school were poorly planned, awards ceremonies were a mess, dances were cancelled at the last minute, and an culture of mass punishment took over.
My first student began to hate the school. They disliked most of their teachers, and began to do poorly. My once thriving student was very unhappy.
There are also nowhere near the extra-curricular opportunities I would expect from a school like this. Few clubs, and the ones we tried were run so poorly that they weren't really functioning clubs. No field trips.
School morale is currently very low, and this school has lost its shine.
