I joined this school a few months ago, and so far, meh. There is definitely something to improve or do better about it but its not the worst in NV. Lots of kids vaping, and it seems like the teachers hate just being in the classroom.

My daughters were transferred to Swope from another school and there has been an immediate improvement in my older daughter academically and socially. They want to be more involved in school programs. The school offers assistance for families. The staff is very helpful and friendly and take of things right away. Very glad to have transferred my children here!
