I went to this high school, and both my kids have gone here. Class of 2004 here. The school seems…read moreto have had a lot of upgrades to it, as is expected after so many years since my attendance. The library is definitely a great addition considering the one we have was a third of the size. There have been quite a few other improvements as well, but the bones of the original school are still there. As far as the staff goes, it's a 50/50 toss up. You have some teachers that are doing well by their students, and some that are just petty. You have some counselors who seem to take an active interest in ensuring a child is on the right path for their future, and then you have the ones who are taking actions that affect your child's record. Discrimination seems to be commonplace with the staff. At least that's how my child and I have felt. I'm leaving a review because there is an issue with how things are ran. My child gets sick often because autoimmune issues run in the family. Every time he is sick I notify attendance. As of now, I have received multiple letters stating my child is chronically absent, and the whole blah blah about how it affects grades. My son's grades are excellent, because even when he is sick, he gets his work done. He is also in AP classes. His grades in fact are NOT suffering. First off, it is posted in each classroom that if you are sick, to stay home. But if you follow this guideline, you get threats in the mail about possible legal action. So their rules contradict themselves. Now, any time my son is sick, a doctor's note is required. Doctor's can't stand when a child is brought in every time they are sick, just for a note. Not everyone has the ability to get a same day appointment, and urgent care is another problem. I myself am disabled, so it's difficult just to get out and run around trying to find a place to get my child a doctor's note. Not only does the staff at this school discriminate, they don't uphold their own rules. If you want children to stay home when they are sick, then don't send letters home when they are excused. It seems as if they think I'm just keeping my child home just to skip. I could understand if my child was actually struggling. But he isn't. The grades prove it. The classes he is in and upholding, prove it. His ability to participate in extracurricular activities, prove it. What it comes down to is this, I'm not the only parent having this issue. So this is a problem with the institution, not the kids. Yes there are students that are skippers and who are failing, my child isn't one of them. To send these letters home and labeling him is affecting his record, which both he and I have a problem with. Especially considering he is going to be applying to some big colleges, required for his particular career field. Something needs to change, clearly. Even if it means all the parents and children being affected by this have to start having a voice, and bring it up at a board meeting. End the stigma with chronically ill people and stop discriminating against them. It's the schools job to make sure my child meets requirements and graduates. My son is doing his part, the school seems to be doing what they can to tarnish his name. I've made attempts to contact the principal in the past about matters, but never have I received a response. If your child will be attending this school, keep records of everything. It will help you in the long run.

Every other school in the city ,state maybe even the nation allows parents some sort of access to their teacher . Here ..you need several days advance to visit your child's classroom. You can't just pop in ,sign in at the office at a visitor and check out what's going on in the class room for 10-15 minutes or so LIKE MANY MANY PARENTS ALLLLLL ACROSS THE STATE are allowed to do. You can't even show up 30 minutes before school starts to have a quick word with your child's teacher . You're instead referred to someone in the office who has NO FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE about the goings on of specific ,classroom or play ground incidents. These office higher ups are only privi to information LOGGED in to a computer by the teachers or recess aids . They run the school more like a company than a school. There seems to be a huuuuuge disconnect with PARENT INVOLVEMENT!!! And it's suspicious!!! I repeat this school is NOT for parents who like to be hands on, immersed and involved in their child's schooling . They make it SOOOOOOO difficult. And I'm giving this opinion based on SEVERAL years of observation.
