School Reviews

This school Removed I hate it.
2 3/26/2020
I wouldn't recommend this school, both due to overcrowding and due to the school atmosphere. There is a lot of bullying, vindictiveness, and general unhappiness. Students are bribed with rewards and prizes to meet the minimum levels of acceptable behavior, as opposed to actually making them better citizens and students. The atmosphere on the busses is particularly bad, loud and borderline unsafe, with minimal supervision. There is little talk of college prep or selecting an area of study or a career. There is little SAT or PSAT prep, to get students ready for their high school and college years. You get the distinct impression the school district just wants to get the kids through the district and out, with little concern for their further careers or education beyond that point. Oh, and the class sizes are huge while school taxes are high. Per capita spending per student is also high, higher than surrounding districts, with little to show for it. Your child will probably do better and be happier at a different school.
