This school advocates for things that make parents jump for their kids but once my daughter attended the school, the longer she stayed the more she realized she was missing out on. They don't offer any clubs; they don't provide for the students at all and it's just a place to send a kid if you really want to stress them out. Go somewhere where students have outlets. I don't think any child should attend this school.

There''s a huge flaw in this school which principal and teachers are aware of and just laugh it off during parents visit events saying there''s nothing they can do. The unlucky kids that get Chinese instead of Spanish are screwed (you are stuck with it for 3 years and your GPA will suffer, so playing field isn''t leveled which means kids with Spanish class will have better chances to get accepted into better college than the ones stuck with chinese).

School Does not want to help special needs students at all. It's easy to have a good school grade when you only cater to kids who have no problems learning. It is a lottery school and should accommodate ALL types of students. Teachers don't want to help special need students. Especially the special needs teachers! They (off the record) suggest your child go to another school. It's sad nothing has been done about this school.
