What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, June 16, 2021

This school pretends to give a well-rounded education to its students, but the test scores are low because the students are not learning. My child went here and was passed on and on even though he was struggling. He couldn’t make it in college because he wasn’t prepared. My youngest attends here now and it’s even worse. Bullying, homophobic slurs in the hallways, the administration does nothing. They are busy building culinary programs and tech wings when the students are failing English and math. They failed the state report for schools because the education is so bad and a large percentage of their graduates drop out of college. There is a reason. Just look at the data and you will see the truth. Don’t trust the PR lies of the administration. Send your children to the tech school or academies, if you can. Close Quote
