I subbed for this school in 2024-2025 school year and the administration is more concerned about being friends with the students. Ive personally heard him tell a student if they didnt stop doing something they would get ISS. The student continued and the administrator just walked away and used the same lines on another student. No follow through.
Now, I decided to sub again as it is a new year and hoped things would change. 2025-2026 school year. Same administration, same results. I had a student walk out of my class and they just returned him, just to walk out again. The same day I had a student not listen to my directions of putting their backpack in the back of the class (a school policy, not something I made up). So I called the office, per school instructions. By the time the admin came in the student put their bag where it shouldve been. So the admin looked at me and said well the bags in the corner I dont need to be here. Not wanting to talk to the student and reinforce the rules and that they should be followed. The same day I had another class come in and spray perfume. I got an excruciating headache and the children wouldnt be quiet. I called the office and they said they would send someone down. Suprise surprise, they didnt. But Im expected to stay in this class where the smell is and cover their class while I have this headache that wont go away because the smell is lingering. Im sure the student sprayed it on their desk, it lasted the whole day. Im in tears and I will NEVER sub at this school again. My vision keeps blacking in and out because of my headache. This is so sad, and they wonder why theres a shortage in teachers and now substitutes.

Unfortunately, this is the only school in our area for our middle school kids. I've noticed a big downfall on my kids's grades and performance. Not to mention the constant bullying. Its unfortunate that we had to relocate from San Antonio to this location due to my husband's job.
