As a student at this school almost a former student (Thank god) I do not recommend putting your child in this school. I would like to inform you of all that this school lacks. It first lacks leadership in the admin team, they are terrible at cooperating. The teachers are terrible, especially the Iexplore teacher. I cannot speak for the disabled classes. The food in this school is often left out to mold and get cold and served to students. One time a friend of mine was served a raw biscuit. Which can obviously lead to sickness? The work is overwhelming and can degrade your child's mental health. Out of this entire school, I would recommend the Innovation Academy program (5th - 8th only) As I've been apart of it for 3 years, the teachers in the program are really great and they want you to learn unlike the main campus teachers. Almost every corner you look you will find a bug somewhere, one year there were even ants on the roof. For the love of god do not put your child in this school unless you plan for them to go to Innovation Academy.

As a soon-to-be former student of this school (thank god) I have to say that this school is a nightmare 90% of the time. The approach taken to bullying is abysmal, the leadership is terrible as there is never any actions taken by the principal, vice principal, and admins. The food is often left cold and can sometimes lead to sickness as has happened to me. I cannot say anything about the teaching of the kids with mental issues. Students in the innovation academy program are often put under a lot of stress to the point where it can affect ones mental health. Almost everywhere is left unsanitary with bugs seen in most of the corners. The only saving grace is some of the teachers that work here, some of them are kind and will gladly help you with any problems you may have, those teachers are also very effective at helping us learn the material that is being taught.

Disappointing. The teacher and the principal should put the needs of the student above their own.

HORRIBLE! Once upon a time it was not bad... then they brought in new admin and Pych... It went down hill from there! For the teachers that have left, may you find a place that can genuinely appreciate your talents and heart! Thank you for your effective positive impact on our students while you were there! It is you that help make that difference!
