This place is such a bad environment for kids. If you are the slightest bit different, from plan on being bullied and harassed daily. Teachers don't help, and the principal blames the victim for the problem. The district has done nothing to prevent it from happening and stands behind its policy of we will wait and see what happens.

The teachers work hard and my son misses going to school because of COVID-19. The staff has been very supportive and offer help all the time. Never had a bullying problem.

This school still does nothing about bullying. The teachers are decent but do not really care about us. They are more concerned about not being bothered with our problems. Bullies thrive in that kind of environment.

The school does nothing about bullying. If a teacher doesn't like a student they don't care if he gets bullied. My nephew repeatedly went to his teacher and informed him he was being bullied to no avail. The teachers should be trained to to stop the students from bullying or be fired!
