My experience at this school so far as a 7th grader going into 8th is decent. Fighting doesn't occur often like it used to in 6th. 3/4 of my teachers are decent in their jobs meaning they are able to make it fun compared to the 2/2 for 6th. Swearing is common in this school. I hear it everyday, but you know, we are 12-14, we are always immature. In all schools there's bad kids and good ones this ones one of them. So far, this school is not half bad. Nice unified-art programs and good teachers. Plus there's some nice students who are wonderful people. That was my honest opinion of this school.

School is completely disorganized. Really difficult resolving issues or having voice heard. Does not seem to be improving. May actually be getting worse.

So disorganized that there are behavior issues daily in almost all classes. Admins seem ill equipped to deal with even the most extreme behaviors. No consequences for student misconduct creates unsafe, miserable learning environment for my child.
