Horrible do not want to send more of my kids there.
We had 2 kids at this school and we are pulling them both out and enrolling them at Twin Peaks. My experience here has been very negative and unsatisfactory, no actual teaching just worksheets or games, very poor conflict/bullying handling strategies, please think twice before enrolling your children here. My children felt stifled and oppressed here and that is not the way a school should be.
Fair, the school exceeds standards but doesn’t challenge students to excel beyond minimums.
I have had three children go through this school. One was bullied incredibly badly her first year, it was chronic all year, and was even physical - pushing, knocking her to the ground, tripping her, etc. Another daughter was on suicide watch during her second year there because the kids were so mean and nasty to her, and several PARENTS were equally as mean to her as well during extra-curriculars. My other student has several learning problems, including severe anxiety, and has a 504. I was told repeatedly by several teachers that they refused to abide by the 504, that he should "suck it up and get over it," and that it (the diagnosis and 504 accommodations) was ridiculous. Three teachers showed up 40 minutes late to a 504 meeting once, then complained the entire time they were there that they needed to get ready for class. Each of those three kids spent an average of 4 hours a night on homework - often times doing ridiculous assignments like coloring and making puppets. Why does any 11 year old need 4 hours worth of homework? In the time that those three kids have been there, we have had positive experiences with just a handful of teachers. It is sad that most of the teachers don't care about the kids personally - just get them in and out. Unfortunately, the apples don't fall far from the trees - many of the kids and parents are entitled and selfish. The parents argue about only what's right for THEIR kid, not the group as a whole, and only look out for theirs, to the point of not caring that it's detrimental to other kids. In addition, their child's happiness ranks far above their character, their kindness, and their responsibility to society. Their kids follow their example and are entitled and mean. I would NOT send my child to this school if given a choice.
