I highly don't recommend to come to this school cause they don't do anything they let kids get away with smoking and drinking but only care about grades and fights, and they have favoritism with some kids letting the boys get away with everything but girls would get in trouble making it actually sexist.

La directora y el asistente de la directora son muy malos para manejar situaciones de bullying

My son struggled the past two years at this school. The principal is awful and has zero compassion. My son was so distressed by the lack of support he received even though he repeatedly asked for help that he has severe anxiety, and has high amounts of stress. He was a straight A student in elementary school and genuinely loved school. This school broke his spirit, and he now hates school. I tried to go to the superintendent to report the issues and Lack of support and leadership and was told that the superintendent didnt have the time to meet with me and that they are confident they have the right leaders. This campus also has a HUGE vaping, drug, and alcohol on campus issue. The district is aware but has no plan, around prevention, other than vape detectors that go off and alarm the student that someone is coming. Go anywhere else but here, its not worth the stress.

Horrible experience. My son, a straight A student, was bullied and was threatened. He became depressed and had anxiety. He made a cry for help and that was taken the wrong way. Instead of understanding the situation and trying to help him they expelled him and he ended up in a mental health hospital. He is 13. There is no place for a heart and common sense at this school.

9 out of 10. Everyone is very helpful. Most teachers try to learn everyone's names so they can be a mentor as well as a teacher.

Some teachers don't care but there are others who will pick up slack and take on more than they are getting paid to teach. They will make sure that everyone is learning what they are supposed to be and that they don't fall behind.

They try to but the kids think it's stupid.

The staff tries to push us to do our best and to be leaders and to speak up when we see something wrong or whatever.
Posted: April 22, 2020
Teachers always push the kids to push past whatever is holding them back and they are taught social skills for later in life.

They encourage us to report things and we use the stop it app but many students always use it as a joke.
