Looking back on my time at SMLCA, I can honestly say I was relieved to graduate. My experience…read morethere was often very difficult and left a strong impact on me. On multiple occasions, I observed students being bullied by both peers and staff. This contributed to an overall environment that felt uncomfortable and unsafe for many students. There were also serious incidents that raised concerns about how safety was handled. One situation involved a student making threats involving a knife in the parking lot. There did not appear to be a clear lockdown or communication to parents afterward, which left many of us unsettled and questioning how safety was being prioritized. A personl experience i had was when I was taken into a very small, closet-sized room by staff. I was told that if I did not come willingly or "behave," I could be physically enforced by staff. While I was in that room, I was shamed for the way I dressed and acted, despite not having significant disciplinary issues that year. I was also told that if I did not "fix myself" and act differently, there were therapy measures that could be used on me. After this, I experienced ongoing fear and distress about attending class. I would walk through the doors feeling anxious about what might happen next, and it eventually led to full emotional breakdowns. I am sharing this as my personal experience as a student and how it affected my sense of safety and wellbeing during my time there.

Alright school. Older buildings brand new gym and office. Sucky football team lolread more

This is a terrible school you can ask literally any of the students in there.here's there's…read moreconstantly fights, teachers who have no idea what they're teaching,cafeteria food is disgusting,most of the bathroom rooms for some reason have soap dispenser torn off, mirrors were also ripped off the wall, the security is terrible I have not seen a single person prepared for any life threatening situation the only "security" I've seen is normal unarmed people who I would easily believe were just random people picked straight off the streets, one time the fire alarm went off at an unplanned time and instead of the teachers letting the students evacuate because there was the true threat of a fire she kept students in for 10 minutes despite the chance of it being an actual fire was high, if I could give it a zero out of 10 I would

Meh. Even for being free, the classes are bad. The food is pretty shabby too. The place looks like…read morea prison. It needs to be replaced also. 1964 isn't to old but the place is falling apart from the inside. They hardly fix anything they have the same doors from 50 years and they hardly work. We have lockdown drills and they don't tell us when it's a drill. I pray the whole time and then at the end they are like " the lock down drill is over" and everyone is like o I'm not dead. What entertainment. Sports systems are pretty good but we have terrible players. Cross country is the best we get to do very fun things and we don't suck as bad as our football team which never ceases to loose to the most pitiful of teams. It may be a craphole, but it's my craphole, so that's why it's 2 stars. Actually complete crap no two stars for you. You can't even get a seat at lunch. every one here dates their cousin or their friends mom. I still have a good time screwing around.
