First thing I have to say, DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD INTO THIS SCHOOL.
I was a student at this school from 4th grade all the way to 8th grade. And my experience- horrible. There has been multiple teachers in this school that have gotten fired because they either didn't teach or mistreated their students. Yes, MISTREATED. This school has so many teachers that leave because of how disrespectful the environment is, to the point that they will hire absolutely anyone they can find. In 7th grade, my English teacher was so bad that she would bring her personal issues into the classroom, talking about how she's depressed and wanted to end her life. She would blame it on us, her students. She also would PHYSICALLY harm us by slapping school supplies out of our hands, and even throwing things across the room. She's even thrown a stack of papers in a students face before. And she was NEVER fired, she had just decided to quit.
That was only one experience that the school did NOTHING about. We've had multiple teachers either not know how to teach, be mentally insane, or be weird towards their students.
Staff is EXTREMELY rude. I don't want to drop names, but almost every staff there has an extremely bad attitude, as if they hate their job. They are all nice to the elementary kids/younger kids, but super rude towards the middle schoolers/older kids. You can get in trouble for almost anything at this school. Multiple students, including me, have gotten detentions for not have our shirts tucked in or having our IDs on. Even if it's with us... if it wasn't on 24/7, you'd get in trouble.
The food is pretty bad as well. There were only some days where I thought the food was okay, but almost every day it is pretty much disgusting. I've had friends find plastic, and even MOLD in their school lunch.
The students here, from my experience, are also very rude. There is so much bullying, and absolutely nothing is done about it. Unless something physical happened, you couldn't get in trouble for bullying. And for a school that hangs up a huge "no place for hate" poster right at the entrance.... It's a pretty hateful place.
Everything is EXTREMELY expensive. Clubs are about $200 just for one day a week per QUARTER. So if you wanted your child to be enrolled in a club for the whole school year, that would be a total of $800. It's not worth it.
Favoritism is a huge thing in this school. If your child isn't in the popular crowd, don't expect them to make the sports team. Many teachers here also favorite kids based off of skin color. Again, I will not drop names, but it is somewhat common to be discriminated at this school.
Also, there's been many things that have happened here. Just about 3 months ago, a child (who goes to the school) had their parents SUE the school because one of the administrators saw the kid sniffing a lot and assumed he was doing drugs- then conducting a search through the kid's backpack, just to find nothing. That really shows how responsible this school is, no?
I've tried to find good things to say about this school.. but nothing comes to mind.
My recommendation: Do not enroll your child here. Please find a different school if possible. This school should not be the first option.. if anything, let it be the last. Save your child the trouble.
