This school is horrible. I’ve went to pick my sister up on several occasions and there has been little girls bullying other little girls while they wait for their rides. On one occasion I saw a girl throw a girl on the ground whose arm was broke, I notified the principle Ms Weins and she said they were “play fighting” but everyone knows you don’t throw someone on their arm that’s broke. On top of that the little girl who had been thrown was crying and Ms. Lawrence (the social worker) who ALWAYS has a horrible attitude got an attitude with the girl and start talking to her crazy. HOW IS SHE GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR BEING PUSHED ON HER BROKEN ARM ? Then another incident happened when 2 girls were walking out of the school and one start yelling at the other one and pushed her into the street while the other did nothing (she looked scared). Ms Weins and ms Lawrence were notified and said they were probably playing. The girls were recorded (I have the video) so you could tell they weren’t playing. When she found out that I had the video she asked that I email it to her and not put it on any social media because they knew they were wrong. I still will put in on any social media so you can see how these people are. I also had ms weins as an assistant principle when I was younger, she was bad to me and bad to other kids now. She acts different to parents , family members and other adults but if you’re a student she treats you any kind of way because you’re a kid BASICALLY. Some staff are wonderful and understanding but her and ms Lawrence SUCK. They also give out detention like free samples

The school is extremely dysfunctional. Teachers quit in the middle of the year, students misbehave 24/7. The majority of students here are not meeting their grade level standards for test. You barely learn anything in class because 1 you have already learned the lesson before that the teacher is teaching or 2 students or misbehaving in class and the teacher is not able to teach. The drama here is out of control it’s not settled in the proper manner for a environment with all girls. The school is not a environment for a person who wants to obtain the best education they can recieve. Now if you want your child to be in a drama filled,bullying, dysfunctional, or unruly environment go ahead and send your daughter here. The staff here are quitting because they do not like working here. One teacher said and I quote”I hate this Fu&#$!ng place.
They have zero structure in the school no principal and the excutive director quieted. In gym class the kids are allowed to do whatever because the teacher is a substitute and he allows the students to operate his class while he sits at a table eat food,play music, and whatever else he decides to do. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE AND PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR A JOB HERE. I AM TRYING TO WARN YOU. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE.

DO NOT PUT YOUR GIRLS HERE. They need to shut it down and leave it that way. Behind the school is a halfway house on top of the lack of crucial information that never tell the parents. My daughter is in need of academic assistance and they refused to do IEP. Several teachers quit which resulted in my daughter grades being affected and they have no solution or staffed Principal. The worst thing i ever did was enroll them here with high hopes. Plus the uniforms are high priced! Not worth it.
