Youre better off home schooling your child than to let them attend this school. Worse school. They let anyone work here. I wouldnt recommend this place if my life depended on it.

The teachers at the school are extremely verbally abusive and allow students to do drugs. The bathrooms are disgusting, making it hard to get a good education here. The staff is rude, and the bullying is out of control, with fights happening all the time. The school spends all its money and time on the ASB kids, even though they let them bully others. Supposedly, theres a dress code, but the ASB kids can wear whatever they please. Ive heard theyre trying to take phones away, yet they have so many social media accounts. Why take phones away and make them a problem when they are encouraging social media?

I have no idea how it is nowadays, but even in the 90s it wasn't too great. I attended most of my high school years here and I wanted to leave in 10th due to bullying and some other stuff going on at the time. I stuck it out (still had the same bully for 2 more years) . I had a great group of friends and that helped a lot. I also had some really great teachers. My freshman year was a rough start and 10th wasn't much better, but I kept it together and finished HS strong. I really hope it hasn't totally tanked 20 years later

School is extremely rude, homophobic, and racist. Staff are disrespectful to their students and belittle them. Same with the students. Im this school color is what decides your status.

This generation of school age adolescents have been exposed to an attitude of acceptance, understanding, and compassion towards their fellows in this school environment and even throughout the normal healthy rights of passage that we experience in youth, the resolutive attitude towards those who encounter challenges is positive.

My neice is an exceptional young woman who has a different set of capabilities, yet does not thrive through the options available for applicable progress and dynamic trait assessment, so I recommend a more in depth activity program to ensure the emotionally and mentally centered children are able to participate in creative assessment and activities that ensure digital communications can be effective in their social abilities.

The students rallied in support of the community's active role in handling the issue of bullying , creating a group behavior of the strong gentelness and openness of the kids who are willing to help.

During my child's freshman year, he has become part of a larger reflection of his abilities, preferences, and is now on the path of effectively creating his future. Experiences leading into the feilds of exploring vocation, contributing ones energy towards acedemia while balancing the self in his own unique style, is part of the American dream. This present time has so many integrative capacities and we are truly excited to play our part in it's development.

In the neutral score position, the student/homework assignment/ applicative function towards full embodiment of subjective function can be individually supportive to the students progress

The dedication of the staff in their approach to providing the student population with their curriculum while being a positive social role model for the youths they guide into knowledge and discovery is strongly effectual in it's very nature. Big Thanks.

My grandson and I went to registration this past Monday. It was beautifully and efficientlly organized. Everything went smoothly. Any problems were quickly resolved. There were well informed students on hand to provide him a tour of the school to show him where his classes would be. Her name is Vivian. She was well-informed and gracious. I think this experience is the gold-standard for registration and orientation. No school could have done a better job. Not onlly that all students were treated with respect and courtesy. It was a great beginning for what I am sure will be a successful experience. Thank you! Delores Burris

Our school is very unsatisfactory with the exception of a few teachers. Our administrators have no sense of morality when it comes to protecting or helping students and often stand on the side of the aggressors rather than the victims. I am an honors student and I must say that the honors teachers do not disappoint, but there are no where near enough honors classes. I feel extremely unsafe at this school as the vice principal stated that it was okay for me to be harassed because students had told him things about me. Sad to say that there are only 3 teachers on that campus that keep me there and one of them retires next year. I would never suggest that any student be enrolled into this high school if they wish to have a bright future.

I have had 4 kids attend this school, starting in 2000. The administration has always been anti-child and anti-parent. There's is a pervasive, longstanding attitude of 'us against them. This community has a problem with nepotism and cronyism in all levels of government, from city to county, and is reflected in this school.
