I am not treated like a gifted student here even though I am in G.A.T.E (gifted and talented…read moreeducation) program and I'm not treated like I have any potential at all nor are my friends treated that way. I feel they punish students in an unfair matter. The teachers are awesome, except a couple who in my opinion should be fired. Some staff are great, nice and firm when it comes to bad situations, but the way they punish the students here is unacceptable. For example, 'what's the name' will talk to the principal something happened like she punched me or some crap like that. No matter what staff it is in the entire school, they will only punish the people who were blamed. Not even asking their side of the story. Other than that, I am well and happy being in this school and will be going to a different school next year. I think you should check this place out because most teachers are awesome.

(Update from recently emoved Google review)…read more This is a long review and will change from time to time, but... Reflecting on my time from this high school, I have to say that I have mixed feelings, leaning more towards negative over time. Even though I made some to a lot of friends, a lot of other people made me feel quite uncomfortable with their assertion, unwelcomeness and unpleasantness. Even the teachers and staff were not the best at helping with me with my issues at times, with a counselor named Beltramo outright excusing a bully when they were hitting me quite hard despite me not doing anything to them. Now the teachers were not the best with how they handled students, with Centeno not being a pleasant experience, even if she got a little better later on before leaving her class. She always yelled and screamed in front of my ears when I made a small error when having a pencil instead of a pen, yelling "PUT THE PENCIL AWAY!" and also being quite short tempered whenever I didn't meet her expectations. But she was not the only one who made my studies and experience worse. Of note who made my experience worse was a former teacher named David Long. Although I tried to clear up an altercation with him, he was telling me that "people who wear black like you are troublemakers, unlike me". When I tried to tell former Principal Bill Sarty about what happened, he told me "don't take too long, kid" and then refused to update to me about Mr. Long after our conversation where I didn't become punished. One other was Librarian Patricia Pelfrey. Even long after I stopped making jokes in the library for a short while, she was unpleasant and surprisingly rude to me. Whenever I talked to her, she was being quite demanding and unsettling, telling me to "hurry up" and insulting me behind my back. She was quite short-tempered to me, despite giving her my gratitude and thanks long after I ceased my jokes around my friends in the library. Rest in peace to her, no one has to go through what she went through, but my criticisms have nothing to do with her passing or prior condition. Regardless, I did not have a pleasant experience with her at all, but I also hope her family is doing well. Not all of it was bad, even if it does outweigh the goods. A few of the staff, especially the attendance staff and a sweet lady into Spider-Man, gave me great life lessons that not everyone must be liked, not even some good people. And a lot of friends were fun, even if some of them were shortlived or even former friends that ended poorly. I especially had fun times with Gard, one of my favorite teachers who was quite resourceful and kind. And Yu, my all time favorite despite not starting well due to her initial unpleasantness that turned into genuine friendship. And I want to add one of the most important events that traumatized and psychologically scarred me, was about one classmate. After she ignored my apology about being furious at her and her friends in gym, she not only sexually harassed me about my "size" at one point, but when I criticized her about it she gaslit me into making me think that I'm making things up. That is why I hate 2016 & 2017, and I had to deal with some friends and family tell me that I'm "freaking out" and "stop feeling traumatized!", feeling minimized and underneath a lot of people. As a result, awful moments like these shattered me and ruined my perception of reality for years to come. And this happened 10 years ago, so is it really my fault for having trauma and still having thoughts about them for this long? In general, even though I tried to look on the bright side and find some positives, I believe the flaws outweigh the goods. It was not a great time to be in, especially after these moments plus a few grand tragedies with my former friends, to the point that it changed me forever for the worse overall. I'm sorry, family, I know I can look at the positives but that mindset minimizes what I've been through. Even if others had it worse than me, these are my experiences and they were not as pretty as one might think.

He was suspended mutiple times due to being bullied and him getting upset. This school staff would lose my son and call me to come find him on campus. Also, sent him to mental hospital without notifying his parents then told me they didnt know where he had gone. And couldnt explain his whereabouts. They let other kids bully him who were white but refused to disapline the children. This school is full of gangs and the staff refuse to look at evidence when presented to them. I spent everyday going back and forth to the school mulitple times to get my son on track because the school doesnt have sufficent supervision for the children. I have heard from several of the students about sexual activity that happens on campus in the garden area where students can go because they know there are not enough supervision on campus. I have had students try to sell my son drugs on campus and seen students vaping in front of the school. I tried several times to remove my student from the school only to be told they would try harder. Finally i just put him in homestudies to avoid the stress of having to school my son at the school because the teachers do not emply any type of discipline!!!!

Experience here has been horrible…read more The principal never replies to emails or calls. I got a call from her one day for a truancy warning. I asked her for help with resources for before/after school care, since we had a few tardies. She asked us why we moved to this side of town if we cannot afford a nanny. She offered to buy us an alarm clock to help us get to school on time. That was her only source of help or solution she brought up. She also said we could reach out to our neighbors for help if we needed it..? I asked to sit in my daughters class as I am concerned with how her teacher says she's 'concerned for her education' and that my daughter does not listen but then cannot provide actual examples. She does not have these issues at home. It's been 3 months of me asking and they have NOT ALLOWED ME TO SIT IN even though I have filled all prerequisites and have previously volunteered in the class. The teacher also mentions how there is a lot of homework missing, even though the work she refers to is 'optional' homework. Why is this counting against my daughters grade? Also, one week we did not get homework, I asked for a homework packet from the teacher. Instead of just sending a packet home, she ignored my messages, took the time out to write out a paragraph in her parent newsletter about what to do when homework is missing.. blamed us for losing the first one and said we could print one out online if we needed it. After 2 emails and 3 days, she finally sent one home. All that effort for us to do word search and reading log homework..instead of just providing the work in the first place. My daughter is only in 1st grade and this is her first year here. We plan on looking at other schools. Do not let your kid go here..their butt in a chair is just a paycheck. The staff have shown they do not care and will not help you if you aren't wealthy and donating money to the school. They're a bit clique and all very stuck up. I have received NO help, NO apologies for their behavior and attitude toward us.. they do not care about the families who's kids they work with every day. I wonder how they treat the children..

Beginning photography was a prereq but could be skipped due to prior experience (Freelance photographer for 6 years). I got the waiver paperwork filled out and emailed the dean of the department but never heard back. (It may have been too late as it was just a few weeks prior to the start of class) Otherwise this is a great place to finish core classes before transferring and it's cheap as well, I would definitely recommend SCC to someone that is looking for certificates or looking to learn something different.
