Nothing is ever done about threats or bullying but god forbid I get up to throw my trash away. Also, these teacher are so disrespectful, except for a few, now I get discipline, by all means, PLEASE discipline these kids, it’s either they aren’t giving discipline or they’re giving it without proper reason. Kids are bullied to the point of wanting to commit yk. And nothing ever is being done except calling the VICTIMS parents. If you don’t want your kids to hate themselves just send them to another school because it’s fr not worth it to go here. I hate it here.

I personally haven't seen most of the problems addressed accept for the disrespect of the student's to teacher's but a lot of the teacher's are cool and will only deploy disciplinary action if necessary over all a good school acept for the students

I have three kids attended this school. None of them had major problems. Sometimes I heard complains about other students being annoying or a very few specific teachers not being helpful... just like in every other schools in general. The character of the schools also changes year to year. But, most of time they had good friendly teachers who helped them learn and have fun times while they are at school. Schools in Southwest district are small scaled and in a good community which is hard to find nowadays. We are a military family who moved to this area more than 10 years ago. My kids are over all satisfied with these schools and community and never wanted to leave.

My experiences here are pretty bad, in my opinion the only good thing about it is my friends. The teachers color zone you for no reason and most of the time don't help you. In this whole school i've only known of 6 teachers that dont yell at you for everything, THIS SCHOOL SUCKS.

Teachers constantly get pushed around and at times discipline is not even handed out.

Posted: August 9, 2019

Very little help is given to the students who need it just to get by.

Posted: August 9, 2019

NOTHING is EVER done about bullying at this school even when it involves death threats....

Posted: August 9, 2019

Horrible you can be punished for thing you haven't done or even just getting caught in the crossfire of a fight trying to stop it, the subjects half the time have NOTHING to do with what your tested on at the end of the year, bullying is a constant problem that is never delt with, and most of the time there is 0 mutual respect between students and teachers resulting in a major rift between teacher and student which snowballs into back lash towards each other.

Posted: August 9, 2019

Homework was unhelpful and sometimes even off topic.

Posted: August 9, 2019

If students are in a class no one cares about or if no one liked the teacher when the teacher would look away for one second someone would get on their phone or start talking. But there are a few cool ones...

Posted: August 9, 2019

No not at all. People get bullyed directly infront of teachers and staff and NOTHING is ever done about it. And then the staff wonder why they are being disrespected by students.
