This school is the worst, and yet we pay the highest taxes. The students have zero field trips, the administration cancels most activities, the sports fields are disgusting, and extra curricular activities are limited at best. Student behavior is out of control, security guards have been hired, and yet they harass good students, and are friendly with trouble makers. Administration doesn't punish bad behavior, so inappropriate things continue. Students struggle to learn in class due to outbursts from incorrigible students. Instead of removing those students, teachers send work home as homework, making students learn on their own. My children are good students, who are friendly, and always do the right thing. They have been bullied, lost in the chaos, and continued to be disappointed by this school system. This school claims to educate the whole child, and yet they take away many experiences that would help do that.
