Monday, February 25, 2019

My daughter felt very isolated by this school. The only reason she is still here, as a senior, is because she would not be able to graduate if she went to any normal high school. Each class is very fast paced, which seems amazing, until you realize that the retention of the information is minimal.... with almost every student. There is virtually no diversity and there are possibly only 10 African-American students. Earlier this year, a friend of hers was targeted by a peer and received racist texts multiple times, additionally, her best friend was called a racist slur in the middle of class and the administration did nothing even when her mother filed a complaint. This school seems too good to be true, and it is. Close Quote

This school just really isn't too great. It has about a 50 dropout rate. It's great that you get free college but you also get 6 hours of homework a night, you don't get to participate in other school's sports due to the homework and school hours, and the overall environment is poor. Many people feel depressed and stresse about not getting good grades, many of the students smoke on campus, and there is virtually no parking. Don't go here!!!! Close Quote
