The gals in the office are always kind to us when we come in to drop off items for the students. I like how I see the staff interacting with the students while out and about.

They also offer after school tutoring when students are falling behind in school work or having a hard time catching on.

So far roaches seem to not bother the staff as they just walk over them and say "there's nothing we…read morecan do". Crossing guards do not even attempt to walk your kids safely across the road and a 15yr old girl was struck by a car. There is no dress code as stomachs, thongs, booty shorts, and side boobs seem to be the norm. Kids apparently make out all the time as well. Someone gave my child what she thought was candy and ended up passing out because it was drugs. She passed out in the office and no one could find her. There are some great teachers that genuinely do care and try to help the students. There really isn't any system of organization when it comes to the front office.

This guy put my son in in-house suspension for a week without even talking to the teacher first and then a week later they found out it was something that my son didn't even do and he did not apologize to my kid or anything. He act like it was still our fault. And called the police on me cause I ripped up the paper that he should have ripped up himself, they just deleted me on Instagram so I posted on here cause I know this will not be taken down

No drama very good education 100% of their students that go there at least get accepted into one or more colleges or universities. I very much recommend this high school if you want to get into a good college or university. Those some people might say. This is a horrible school. I massively disagree with their statement because there has been one to no fights, or Anything like that at the school because they take education over anything and believe that everyone has a chance to go to college and live life successfully

I gave my son the option and he chose to leave.

We try to teach kids to treat others with respect and honesty but if your principal's not willing to do it, then the flag couldn't get any more red. On to better things.

Over two weeks later (as of October 19), no PWN with data justifying delays, and zero progress on her needs, services lag, and they skipped steps, minimized evidence, and prioritized optics over action. I am pulling our resources to fight for her, but this experience has eroded all trust. Do better, Dysart, our kids deserve better than this!

My child was released to someone who could have possibly been a complete stranger. NO ONE CHECKED ID, the individual who I had pick my child up from that school went to the office and the front office receptionist sent this individual directly to where my child was. The receptionist did NOT check ID & when it was time to grab him from the teacher they too just sent him off without even speaking or asking for Identification. Another incident had transpired where another student was touching my child inappropriately & when it came to time speak with the teacher she WAS AWARE of the incident but FAILED to INFORM ME ! I am not only concerned about my child but I am also concerned about the other student as well as that parent should be aware and informed of the information ! The teacher made it a point to MESSAGED ME AND INFORM ME OF OTHER THINGS but not mention what was MOST IMPORTANT. NOT ONLY did these terrible incidents happen but my son had been here in this school for 6 months & his main teacher still DID NOT know his name but would address him as someone else . FINALLY each time I would address my issues of concern the teacher and both principal and assistant principal were VERY CALLOUS . NO apology NO concern NO EMPATHY ... NOTHING !! Not to MENTION ALL INCIDENTS THIS SCHOOL IS VERY PREJUDICE!!!!!!
