Horrible! It's absolutely no wonder why so many kids are driven out of district.

There is NO homework! Not ONCE in nearly a year, did my 6th grader have homework. I know a lot of other kids the same age out of district, they get homework every night.

ZERO communication, bullying goes unnoticed or disciplined, and the LGTBQ community is literally taking over this school. The principal effectively ignored legitimate complaints and refuses to hold anybody accountable for their actions.

My daughter was bullied by a large group of girls, and SHE is the one that got in trouble when after months she decided she couldn't take it anymore and stood up for herself.

There is no leadership at this school. After one year of going here, what we saw was so disgusting and embarrassing, we have officially withdrawn all our kids from the public school systems.

So far I am not impressed with this school. I left a message about a boy bullying my daughter and the counselor did not call back. I finally got a call from the vice P. who did not do anything because it was the end of the school year and the boy was moving to high school. I understood there was a no bullying policy but evidently that is not the case. Also, first grading period my child had 17 missing assignments but I was not notified until two weeks before the grading period ended. After that they have a program they use to notify parents of missing assignments which they post about 4:00 AM in the morning. I love knowing that my child is missing assignments but they never seem to take it out of the system on a timely manner so the messages come every day until I ask the teacher to remove them. They have also posted a missing assignment that she handed in, was graded and handed back to her. It does not appear they have their act together. I do not like the way they do parent/teacher conferences. They have the student do them and walk around the room with other parents. To me that is a waste of time and I never get the true story from the teacher. They say they have too many students to do one on one conferencing so why do they continue. Maybe a better way is to call a conference for the students who are having a difficult time.Next year I will have two students attending so we will see how it goes.
