  • I totally agree that this school has issues with bullying. When I tried talking to the VP it only got worse. When my daughter finally, and against my wishes, fought back she not only got suspended but reported to Juvenile Services. Thankfully she is an honor student, had missed no days of school and was a part of the battle of the books groups so her counselor could see she wasn't an "evil" child as they tried to make her out to be. Not once did any of the other girls evern get in school suspension.

  • Bullying is horrible at this school and the administration does nothing to remedy the situation. Whne I tried to address the issue my childs life was made even more impossible. The administration treated me unfairly and I am so glad that we moved out of the area. My child is now doing well and has many wonderful friends. He does not have to go to school on fear! Do not send your child to this school if possible!

  • This school has major issues with bullying. It has been rated by other sites as the same. The only good program here is possibly the AVID which is geared toward disadvantaged students to help get them rdy for high school. It is a shame that the staff does not do more to incorporate better programs for math and science. The school is centrally located and is subject to a high crime rate, however they have three active duty police officers on staff at any given time. There are much better schools in the area if you are looking.
