They changed at what time school end to 4:00pm! They should have at least let kids come in at 8:15 am now parents have to worry more about picking up their children which is very difficult and the front office is very rude also! If they just changed more stuff it would be a great school they just can`t change

This school is unorganized and lacks spirit. My children dislike the culture here because the school isn't willing to invest its time building it. They like to test a lot and thats frustrating coming from a parent that values review time. The teachers r phenomenal though. They care about the students alot. For those who want music or performing art program this school aint for you cause there is no professional program at all.

its amazing how they treat my girls and they are a good education learning school because like they always say "its all about that mindset".

I think that this school should not have so many restrictions for kids. I think that we should be able to make more of own decisions and not have to deal with so many rules. They watch you every second of your life and once you disappoint a teacher once you are automatically on there bad side. The teachers give you interventions that arnt meant be given and they waste all of the class's time because of a couple times that are stopping us from learning. I hope that one day they will make this school easier on the kids. Also there is not easy way to get out of the school when you pick up or drop of your kids. There is only a one way rode and the kids are right next to the street and there are not teachers there to watch them. In the morning you should open the doors earlier when kids get here. Also you should make kids sit down when they come in because you are treating them like they are kindergartners and we are 13 year old. But i cant really do anything because kids don"t have a say and I wish we did.

It's ridiculous how they treat you like children at the school. You have to wait in line to go to class like a kinder-gardener and they won't even let you do the simple little things like talking in the hallways. They give you no privileges at all. hope i change schools soon. 10/10 would not recommend.

do not send your kids to Dsst college veiw. First visit was great talked about trips after school programs . Which only lasted utill no one wanted to teach the classes they say you can email or call staff for any homework help. But fail to mention if your child calls more then once the belittle them . My daughter is not bilingual and some of the reading books are English/ Spanish never translated. Also do take your child late for school or they will stand in front of the entire middle school and have to apologize for there tardiness. If humiliation is a form of teaching...
