this school is an excellent place to send your kids, the staff is very helpful, and the students get along well.

I strongly believe that my child's future was ruined here. First off, this school lacks discipline. This basis leads to teachers not enforcing rules when needed. In effect, these kids have a very apathetic attitude and barely learn anything. While I did see some teachers that made a difference in my child's life, she overall had bad experiences with most. It wasn't just her that was complaining, but every single one of her friends that would come over to study at my house. (seeing as how material wasn't being covered in class) But its not just the teachers and students, the worst ones are the counselors. Every year, they mess up her schedule and fail to tell her in advance because it seems that the counselors are too lazy to switch classes around. I came in and before I could speak to them, they rudely sneered and asked my daughter if I had "tattled". It was only when I spoke "perfect" English (I have a dark complexion) did their eyes bulge and go towards the floor.

I resent this school. I hate their staff, but had it not been a transportation issue, we would've transfered.
