    Student here, got in trouble for saying "Screw you" and a threat of calling home for it…read more Is there not other evils in the world to worry about? Otherwise, an okay school with decent faculty.

    My daughter went here since it was an available and local standardized testing location. We went…read morethe day before the test (Friday) to familiarize ourselves with the grounds and ensure she knew where to go on testing day. The staff were so cute and friendly. Some of them were dressed up for the holidays in movie character costumes. The front office was decorated and the atmosphere was so cheery. There were other students and parents waiting in the small space near the front office desk. On the day of the test (Saturday)- The school has a large parking lot but it is shared with Victor Valley College (VVC). We weren't sure if we needed parking passes so I purchased a $3 pass for the day at one of the VVC ticket machines. The school appears to offer transportation to students as we saw several buses on the Friday we went. We also saw what appeared to be armed security guards wearing black. It's understandable with the recent school shootings in America. Overall, my daughter said her test taking experience was very good. She was able to find an outlet in the classroom she went to and plug in her laptop. Were very blessed and grateful to have had this school as a location for the test. Thanks Excelsior!!!

    Attention Parents Do you know Sitting Bull Academy?…read moreDid you know that when new employees are employed, there is no drug test? Did you know some show up to work drunk or high? Did you know these individuals watch your kids during school hours? Did you know that the ones who advocate for your kids are being targeted and destroyed by HR and Administration? Did you know that Sitting Bull has had a high number of good teachers who have left or are already gone? Did you know a proctor hit a child a few years ago and was allowed to continue to work with students? Did you know the children are not being supported in academics? Did you know that they are not being supervised? Do you know how filthy the bathrooms and water fountains are? Did you know how cramped the students are at the cafeteria tables while eating? Did you know that the school district is so financially strained that it cannot afford to hire more staff to support the students? Did you know administrators will tell you they will handle a situation with your student, but will not? Listen to your children when they tell you stuff about what is happening at school. Don't have any doubt about what they are saying; help them resolve the issue. Tell me, how well do you know Sitting Bull Academy or the district? The district has some explaining to do to us parents, and we need to demand some answers and solutions to correct this.

    I am a mom of a high functioning special needs child, I was so nervous about her starting junior…read morehigh this year at Sitting Bull- but I did not need to be! The staff at Sitting Bull Academy have gone above and beyond my expectations to help my daughter have a smooth transition. My daughter loves school and gives me a hard time on the weekends because she wants to be there. I feel like she is safe and the school has accommodated all of her needs. I couldn't be more grateful.

    Contrary to UP's cited requirements (3.0 GPA or higher, no suspensions or excessive discipline…read morereports, etc.) Principal Valerie Hatcher rejected my son's application without hesitation. My soon-to-be Junior had a rocky Freshman year (which he's made up for), and now boasts a 3.82 GPA, and is slated to graduate early! Regardless of his current status, Ms. Hatcher concluded my son didn't meet UP's requirements because of a D on his 9th grade transcripts! It's pathetic that a school would dismiss a student's tenacious effort and progress because of a less than satisfactory FRESHMAN grade. Not only is there a transition phase kids face when moving from Jr High to High School, but these kids were also coming from virtual learning, mask requirements, etc. The district should really take these scenarios into consideration, and review UP's admission requirements - both published and unpublished.

    The principal is a micromanager and a tyrant to her staff. While I have no concerns about…read moreadministration being (extremely) strict with students, I will never support them being so inflexible and heavy handed with their STAFF that they can't hold on to good people. Having a culture of high standards of rigor and discipline is great, but what good is being done the students if half their teachers are ALWAYS new because the toxicity of admin pushes teachers out every year??
