Little to no support from administration and staff when you are actively looking for academic and emotional support for your struggling student. Transition from elementary to middle school is not easy to begin with but when the teaching staff is rude and children feel uncomfortable asking for help in class there is a problem. There is no administrative presence at school events and I witnessed on multiple occasions the use of drugs during sporting events as well as theft but there was no one to report it too beyond the coaches who were inaccessible due to them coaching the games. There were over 6 student safety incidents with in the first couple months school. Those ranges from threats of violence from students to other students, weapons located on campus, a child being severely injured with no known witness of the account, a fight in a class room that resulted in school lock down and parents not notified until after school was over. I called the school because my daughter texted to tell me she was safe and ok and I had heard nothing from the school previous to that. I removed my child for all of these reasons. Close Quote
