This school is so bad the teachers yell about for no reason at all and they blame you for things. We didn't even do and the students are very rude and very bad and the kid julian is very annoying and some of the teachers will fail us for no reason and then lie to our parents.

When I first came to this school, the teachers and staffs are nice but the student is very rude and mean... They bullied me for no reason at all and I didn't do anything to them plus it been 3 weeks I been starting school and already people bullied me... They spread rumors and drama to me, sometimes they even steal my assign seat at lunch period so I have to seat another table alone, sometimes people don't wanna seat by me, most of the time people don't work with me as group in class and also people skip lines at lunch period as well too,people wanna beat me up so badly.... I report it to the office but nothing happened... Or at least they tried to communicate with their parents but the parents are the one who is causing the problem for not teaching this kid not to act like an animal in the wild... But they told me, they can't do anything about it.....this is ridiculous...

I am a student at this school and I hate it. The teachers are rude and yell at you for anything they can, not to mention some never grade any work and fail you even after you do all of your work. There is also so much drama and fights left and right, yet the staff never seems to do anything about it. I wouldn''t recommend this school to anybody.

This school is a joke. They say they need more communication with parents, but they never call you back or email back. The busses are even worse, my child has been left at the side of the road in an area of town that we do not live. She has been left at school because transportation did not have enough room on the bus. Avoid this back woods mismanaged school. Your kids will be smarter for it......
