Thank you teachers, admin and staff.

It makes no sense that only the winner goes and none of the kids like what? Also she was rude and made us pay FINES when we acted up and made us make a reflection letter which our parents had to sign and stuff. She was ONLY somewhat nice during graduation.

I am sick to my stomach right now of anger and disappointment for what my 7 year old daughter just…read moretold me about Ms. Boerner. She told my 7 year old daughter that she's never going to be someone in life because she's a flake! She makes her apologize to her even for the wrong doing of other kids! She benches her for weeks not knowing if it was her or not! THIS TEACHER NEEDS TO GET FIRED! Please parents do not allow your child to be bullied by a teacher! She tells other kids not to hang around with her because she is trouble! THIS IS BULLYING! Yes I know as patents we tend to over view things when it come to our child but wether my daughter is behaving or not, that is not the way a teacher should speak to a child! Or address the situation. You contact the patent!!!! I WILL DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS TEACHER OUT OF THIS SCHOOL AND AVOID ANOTHER CHILD TO BE MISTREATED THIS WAY!!

Most of the funding only funds the robotics and cinema teams. Teachers do not teach and fail students on purpose and the administration has not done anything to fix the problem since they don't hear anyone out. We told the counselors about the issues they're having with teachers but they don't care at all and never do anything about it. I told my teachers before hand that I had a competition to go to and needed extra time to do the homework, I finished it and showed it to them and they said that apparently it's too late, it was impossible to finish all the homework they assigned, plus the extra homework they gave in one day so they gave me a zero. Kortoshian and Landisi ruined this school and they don't know how to run a school. They give you a ton of homework and tests which take away all your free time. No one deserves to go to this school.

I experienced being around others that struggled with other situations in their life that led them to be sent to such a school. From the outside looking in, this pace was seen as the worst of the worst, and maybe we were, but the school was there. Somehow we all got through those days.

The teachers are caring, attentive, and truly invested in each student's success, which makes a big difference. The school also has a strong sense of structure and decorum, especially with uniforms that help create a respectful and focused learning environment. There is a real sense of community here--families are involved, supported, and welcomed, which makes it feel like more than just a school. We also appreciate the spiritual foundation of the school. Weekly church on Fridays and family mass on Sundays help strengthen faith and bring everyone together in a meaningful way. Nothing makes me happier than being able to participate and watch my child present and read during Mass, take part in class projects, and see her excitement in sharing what she has learned. My daughter truly loves attending this school, and as a parent, I am very happy and grateful for the positive environment, values, and education she is receiving.
