With my experience this school was fine at first me and my friend got in this school and thinks were fine but when i got to gym then things got way worse. First of all gym class for middle school is not even gym they call it “health” where basically instead of gym you have this garbage of a class. The middle gym teacher SUCKS this one time she said to not dribble the ball and a couple of kids dribbled the ball obviously but my friend was wrongly accused and she said that they ruined the class for everyone even tho we had less than a minute left of the class left and this year she has turned into a complete ELA teacher this year we are learning about the history of dodge ball like bro when am I EVER gonna use this information and she expects us to copy everything down perfectly and if we make one small mistake then we have to redo the whole thing but when we have to take a test in gym about dodge ball then that’s where I draw the line if you make a mistake on the test you have to redo it. I had to redo it 10 times for a stupid test about dodge ball this is not ela. Besides her most of the teachers are nice but I got to add that the new female principal is so strict sense she started working her this year she has made everything so strict if things wont already strict. And lastly the 7th to 8th grade teacher is so bad this one time at the start of this year she put something funny on the wall that was intended to make us laugh so me and my friend laughed at it but she got so mad that we laughed that she moved us for the rest of the quarter and then my other friend sprayed deodorant and it stank so it would smell better but she got so offended by that she literally called outside and got the principal involved with it and the worst part she doesn’t even teach she just gives us a stupid near pod or a packet to do while she sits back and relaxes like bro actually teach the class something oh and one last this the new counselor is obsessed with delta math. Delta math is like every other generic stupid math website.

I wanna start off with how this school is not very open to people out of their “bubble” and idea of a student. If your not a certain way with a certain belief people (staff & admin) look down on you.

The admin at this school takes things to the extreme level. Any chance they get, they like to bully their way to get people to do what they want. When the admin feels like it, they will act rude to you, and just make you feel bad if they’re having a bad day. Obviously this is a problem.

It’s a big pattern with this school of the teachers not wanting to be there and putting the bare minimum into teaching the students. This school felt like it looked down on religion a lot of the time, and whenever anyone would mention their religion they would shut it down immediately. Certain members of the admin are actually not bad, and don’t blow things out of proportion. There are numerous stories of the head principle (Faenza) being pathetic and going out of her way to make sure she has power, and only her and to make everyone aware of it. This school reminds me of a dictatorship, no freedom for anything, you are looked down apon by many if religious, etc. It’s just insane the amount of narcissism the admin and staff have shown. If you do not enjoy being around kids, it’s very simple. Don’t run a school. I am constantly hearing stories, to this day about the admin. I will say the leadership classes were always pretty good with Mr. Hathaway.

Overall, don’t recommend. This school has a big pattern of bullying and the admin doing nothing about it. I’m glad I made a switch to a different school. I don’t recommend this school. So please, before donating or even considering placing your child here, look at all the other reviews, hear the other people. It will all make sense in the end.

I’ve written at length about my thoughts on this school but apparently my reviews keep getting swallowed by the void, so let’s keep this brief:
– Good education
– Cool high school teachers (for the most part)
– Somewhat lackluster events/extras but I don’t go to those anyways so I can’t really speak for the people who have
– They’ve built some pretty sick buildings during my time there.
– Tech policy gets worse every day with screen peeking and phone snatching, but it could probably be worse
– Uniforms are a sore point, I never want to see a red shirt and khaki pants again in my life
– Took me a while to open up, but I felt really accepted when I did.
Honestly the main thing I dislike about this school are the students. They complain constantly and don’t shut up about it. Not all of them, I’ve made my fair share of friends here, but…yeah, I don’t particularly like the defeatist attitude some of them hold.
Also, the middle schoolers are toxic to the level of the entire Dead By Daylight community. Racism, homophobia, entitlement, and just straight-up stupidity and annoyance. Granted, not all of them are like this, but there are some bad eggs in there. If you’re taking your middle-school child to this school, let them be the change they want to see in this community.
Eh, I’ve probably talked too much now. Good school overall, but some people need to put away their prejudices and smile every once and awhile. :3
