Netwr.9 here I come.No rating.

If you can, avoid putting your child at this school. This school failed my child, they did not help her. I was informed that my child will need to go to summer school, but throughout the year (they) didn’t help her learn, nor did they offer any help. They had tutoring, but when my children came home they told me all they did was play on the tablets/computers, they received NO HELP.so why do they have tutoring?!?! The Teachers don’t like to do their jobs, they don’t teach these kids anything. A lot of them are only there to make a check. In my opinion, Ms. McNeil is the only teacher I came across that genuinely cares for the children in her class. My daughter had Ms. Nelson, and she acted more afraid that the kids were black, so she never really came to my daughters aid when she needed help. I’m disappointed. I’m hurt because I trusted the people in this school, and they didn’t protect my child. A lot of the children are 3rd generation project kids, so it doesn’t matter the location lol. For the parents who have bad kids and they participate in PTA meetings ect, the faculty will show them more loyalty despite if their kids are wrong. The bullies are NEVER disciplined. My daughter was sexually assaulted, and the boys mother was not disciplined, nor was her son. But because the mother was always up at the school, (because her kids are THAT bad) the faculty didn’t do anything. I wish I never sent my children here. Horrible faculty, horrible teachers, bad kids. a total waste.

I go to this school now, as to the another reviews i do relate too as this school has changed, the kids they started trouble and fights are gone and the teachers who was the weak link now the teachers are very nice and if your grades are below a ”C” they will work with to get it up. the kids here are nice and the middle school experience is amazing. everyone is friends and family.
