Where to begin. I’m not sure if this is the norm these days with schools, but with this school in particular, I can tell you that there is a real issue with the kid’s lack of respect for the teachers. It seems the school does little in the way of taking care of this because it KEEPS HAPPENING.

A close friend of mine worked there as a substitute teacher. The lack of respect a number of kids gave her is very eye-opening. She has been cursed out for waking a student up, (BY the student), her personal belongings thrown in the trash BY A STUDENT. Numerous times she has confided in me about the way she was treated as a substitute teacher there. She even had a bus HIT HER CAR there while on school property and though she tried to go through the proper channels to get this taken care of, she never received a call back, time after time.

Her last straw came when informing a full-time teacher there that she was substituting for, that the class was acting up. When she was leaving at the end of the day, she was approached by a student in that class with a group of other girls in the school hallway and was threatened by this student that she was going to “Stab her ass”.

She cancelled all of her jobs after that THEN received a nasty email from the librarian there blaming her for really “dropping the ball” because she didn’t cover for her due to cancelling her jobs. SHE WAS PHYSICALLY THREATENED. I wouldn’t have went back either.

This is not how you treat your fellow piers nor are these things that should go on in any kind of institution for learning and growth. There needs to be an understanding between the school faculty and the kids that attend that you DO NOT treat the staff this way.

If this is the kind of treatment TEACHERS get there, I can’t even imagine what goes on between the students there.

There’s no way I would ever send my child to a school like this.

Kids can get a parking spot, the classes they want. It’s well organized. Need to study, join activities and fully participate before making a judgement. Many possible academic, technical or specialty tracks. (AP, IB, magnet, sports, CTE, ROTC, arts) Instills value of community service. Dedicated teachers. Students are polite to visitors. There is tradition, excellence and school pride. Definitely history of the school was not always inclusive but it is improving every year.
