This school is extremely bias against the poor/ lower middle class students, If you do not have a computer and you go to this school you will more than likely flunk out. The grade expectations are completely ridiculous for most of the students who attend an more than half of the class of 2012 failed their 9th grade year. The teachers have a very negative attitude towards the students and if you fail one quarter the automatically list you as basically stupid. I as a student at this school have seen very intelligent people being put into, basically special education classes because they do not have the motivation to do the classwork assigned to them. I am a student who has not passed many of their classes, but luckily I have not been put into one of these classes yet, that has not prevented me from being labeled as 'stupid' by the faculty at this school. As you can tell by my writing I am definitely not 'stupid' and I have been wrongly labeled by the faculty of this school. I would not suggest you send you children to this school unless you want them to be subjected to extremely high expectations that are almost impossible for the average student to live up too.

Teachers are not willing to help students. I called for a meeting with my daughter's teachers and only 2 out of 8 teachers showed up.
