I was there recently and it was a horrible experience. Kids are rude and disrespectful. They dont listen to the subs at all. Staff is nice & friendly but honestly that does not help the environment because its still chaos. Kids running, jumping, and cussing all over the school. Fights on campus and on the bus. If you care about your childs education or being bullied dont send them there. Half the kids in the class dont even speak English or know whats going on so communication is a challenge.

Safety is a huge concern. There are so many fights and not enough resource officers, leaving teachers to break up fights and put themselves in harm's way. Learning is impossible because behavior modification is necessary to obtain even an ounce of safety. Many teachers are passionate and only there because they love the kids and want to make a difference, but they do not have the support and resources they need to turn things around. It's truly a dangerous environment.

The school is good, almost every teacher is fun to be with, but too much unsafe stuff happens at this school, last week a kid was arrested on the bus for standing up, a lot of fights also happens. Teachers also get involved with the drama and will punish anyone that speaks about the dram outside of class. The buses are also bad, my child will arrive late at school and the school won't take the blame for it, and will mark my child absent or late, when its the bus. My child misses the first period everyday because of the bus,its always late. Class starts at 8:00 but the bus ,especially 424,will arrive at 8:15 or sometimes 8:30 ,and my child will be blamed for it and not the bus.

The teacher don't communicate well when they notice the kid struggling until their failing the class.then they contact you.

Some teachers are very passionate about the kids and their education while the more seasoned teachers are comfortable with their roles and the kids and their educations you can tell they are doing it just for the pay check while the passionate teachers are doing it out of love

They focus more on the kids when they aren't doing well.they dont show them hard work gets rewarded.their aren't any school dances,award ceremonies,In school parties they don't even get to move around durning lunch they are forced to sit down until lunch is over at an assigned table and not talk to their friends only the people at the table

Administration is not very supportive at all they don't want to adhere to some of the advice parents give.getting them to meet you on being effective in your child/tens learning they don't want to listen.the teachers are rude and could be very aggressive when you try to communicate your child/tens needs.they feel like they know more than you so you end up not getting help.

No discipline, raging bulling throughout without recourse, no support from administration for staff, and state and national testing is significantly bloated by staff and administration.
