School Reviews

This school was a good school. This year has been the worst! Changing the drop off for students made it more dangerous! The students basically run the school, no discipline means the students can do whatever and get away with it! If you don't have a strong administration, school goes downhill!

I have been at this school for the past two years, but this year we got a new principal. The programs and academics are great but this school does have one major issue. Our administration has changed the way that the students get into the school and not for the better. They have decided that all students must be dropped off at the back of the school instead of the front parking lot. The back of the school shares the street with a neighborhood. The front parking lot is now only being used for staff parking and the buses; making it incredibly hard for students to even get into the school. The street in the back is much too small to accommodate all of the cars and students that now have to circulate through there. This also presents a safety concern. The administration has stated that it is too dangerous for students to cross the crosswalk located in the, much bigger, front parking lot. In conclusion, it is even more unsafe for both students and drivers to use the back entrance as the main drop off point.
