My 15 year old son goes here and I regret putting him in this school, I took him out within the…read morefirst 4 weeks of being enrolled. I took him out due to extremely rude staff and specifically Mrs.Hernandez which is his Spanish teacher. She doesn't let them even use the restroom during her class at all and disrespects them constantly.

First I want to state that the person who said this is a public school is providing false…read moreinformation. This is a charter school. Over the past 2 years what we have encountered in this school is troublesome. We have a teacher who calls the students stupid. Not to their faces, to other students! What a shining example for Ms the Newspaper/Yearbook and English teacher to set. One history teacher is not competent in a lot of his so called teachings as a history teacher. He even proceeded to argue with my child repeatedly over a political issue. He was giving the class misinformation. My daughter pulled up the accurate info, the info she was providing. The teacher simply stopped arguing but never apologized to the class or admitted to them he was wrong. This teacher promotes illegal immigration in the classroom. The office staff is not competent, they loose paperwork that students are required to turn in. This causes a lot of issues with grading, not only for the students but the teachers as well. A 9th grade English teacher does not allow students to turn in work late, even when they are sick and have been to the hospital over an illness. I find this unreasonable. How is a student who is that sick supposed to do their school work on time and be there to turn it in? One of the PE teachers likes to do female students hair and makeup during class time. This is not professional and it is not doing the job she is paid for. The students she does hair and makeup for are excused from playing sports in PE and they pass with an A. From what has been witnessed it is only the girls who are Hispanic that receive this attention and excuse from participating in PE. When the dance coach told my daughter to drop down like a whore for a dance move I was disgusted. I had to fight with the school to obtain a refund for the $500 fee for being on the dance team. I was originally excited for my daughter to attend this school. I was thinking this would be a great educational opportunity. I sadly see that I was mistaken. If you ever consider buying ad space in the school paper or yearbook think twice about it. We have had nothing but trouble and threats over it. A refusal to place the ad we want and refusal to refund the money we spent on the ad space.

A lot of people will say traffic is horrible but to be honest all school traffic is just as bad. Usually after the first month of back to school parents find how traffic flows faster & everyone is on the same page. As for staff they're all great and very involved . They also have good communication. They encourage parents to be part of school activities. Mrs Kim the principal is also very involved and open to hearing ways to make improvements for the kids & school over all.

I've neverr seen a school so disorganized, my daughter-graduation was yesterday, they left us…read morestanding in the rain for more than two hours Babies were in the rain, pregnant woman in the rain and their excuse was that they would let people in once the rain stopped, which never did once they let us in seats. We're all wet. Everyone stand outside for two hours for no reason because the rain never stopped. They wouldn't allowed waters or umbrellas because they wanted to make money inside selling their own At the end, due to the rush, they allowed umbrellas Many parents left and a couple of kids that were graduating even left because of the ridiculous organization that they had, it was very disappointing.
