What people are saying

by a principal
Monday, January 3, 2022

Unprofessional teaching staff and principal. Student discipline is not consistent and the lack of accountability goes from the top down. Teachers are burnt out and fear for their jobs. The facility is excellent yet students behave as middle schoolers even though they are in high school. Students cheat constantly by googling answers during and after class. They have a hard time getting students to put their phones away and keep them away. ipads for each student reinforces cheating online and the atmosphere is chaotic. Very sad and disappointing.
