I went to this school for 3 years from 6th-8th grade. The water here is terrible, the condition of…read morethe school is as if a bomb exploded here, all the roofs are broken and unfinished, the walls are covered in some kind of toothpaste and graffiti, the quality of the school is terrible. The toilets here are absolutely hell, they are all dirty with urine, sometimes there is shit on the floor, there are always penises and bad words on the walls. In women's restrooms there is blood and pads everywhere, and there is also hair all over the toilet. I really don't recommend this school to you, almost all the staff are terrible and will treat you badly and the rules are terrible, just like a prison

As a student who attended this school, I can say it's a bad environment. All of the funding goes to…read morethe elementary school and is why the bathrooms are horrible, cramped, smelly and dirty. The walls and floors are made of tiles that mud and dirt can stick to, making it all slippery. The food served there is random slop/gunk. The cafeteria's rotation is bad, one day you'll get beans with watery soft corn kernels thst they expect you to eat with a spoon or you can pick a singular corn dog. The next day your served some pizza in a rectangular shape. The only good thing about the food was the chicken sandwiches that they give out. Theres more food options that can be chosen from, but they're all bad. And for some reason they have a problem with dealing with kids. Lets say there are kids messing around, you're minding your business and then boom, you get questioned by some staff member like your being interrogated by the cia. They suspect you had to do something with the situation, and no matter how much you say you haven't done anything wrong and that you don't know what happened, they don't believe you. You didn't do anything right? Nope,thats when they bring you to the office to bring you into further investigation. They review camera footage and see you just being at the situation so in their eyes you were involved. You can't call your parents because the school will do it for you and start talking about how bad of a kid you are. Then your parents wont believe you. This is what caused all the kids to be rebellious, they would start "riots" throughout the school by yelling and being disruptive. How does the school treat the situation? Removing lunch time from kids. Now a shorter lunch should fix it right? No, kids are even worse. I dont know how it is now but, i heard they dont allow kids to be in groups of 5 or more. And i mean its really sad to see school operate like this. They don't know how to communicate with kids and prevent them from misbehaving. In highschool i've seen someone throw a hard paper ball at the teacher and he just had a short calm talk with a staff member outside the class by the door and not being yelled at. Think about it as a coach giving you advice. After that he was a good kid in class. Being yelled at and being told your parents will know about it makes it all worse. Another thing is the work. unnecessary assignments that's due the next day and takes a long time to finish. Now imagine a student being assigned work for maybe every 4-5 classes because of P.E and their elective (there are 6 periods) Now if that kid misses one assignment they to keep up with the others ones first. Not to mention the classwork that they have, if not finished becomes homework. Now they missed 2 assignments. And then they get home tired, procrastinate, and come to school the next day with more work. Now they are really behind, stressed out, and lazy to finish whats missing. In highschool right now. There is almost 0 homework since i finish it in class. And i can do that because the work is short, easy and simple. Nothing like the teachers said it would be. Another thing would be the kids. They all have this hive-mind personality that starts arguments over opinions, bullying is okay to them, and the moment you speak out against them, they lower your voice by grouping up on you. There's a lot of pointless drama. Everyone loves to start rumors and fights, put words into peoples mouths. Just a lot of immature nonsense. The school doesn't know how to handle bullying and teach social norms. Another thing is that the campus is horrible, they cut down the all the trees that supplied shade other than the trees of the 6th grade side where half of it is anothers schools property. All the 6th graders are on the 8th grade side, which doesn't make sense because when i was a 6th grader i wasn't allowed in the 7th grade or 8th grade side. They put all the grades lunches together which makes the campus crowded. Before they had 3 lunches where all grades were separated by 10 minutes. The library is always loud. The librarian always yells back and makes it worse. They closed the field during lunch which is where all the kids would hangout, play sports. Again making campus more crowded. Some teachers are nice and friendly but others are strict for no reason and ruin your kids day. They can be mean and make your kid quiet. I will say the math teachers are nice people, the history teachers are nice people. The science teachers are mean except for the 7th grade one. And at the end of the day. Im glad im out of that place. Please sign up your kid for homeschool because EVERY middle school is bad. Highschool is better depending on which one.

My teacher, miss Prescott, is very caring and neat. She helps me with all my school work and let's us drink some hot chocolate or tea in class. She's always very happy and in good spirit but she's extremely smart. The other teachers are always on task and are very rewarding and respectful. The activities I've been doing are keeping me happy and occupied while learning life skills like how to clean, garden, cook and get a job. I have schizophrenia and dissociation disorder so it's hard to talk and interact with my anxiety but the school have been making my confidence go through the roof. I suffered with depression and alot of bad things that kept me locked in my room but after school I'm always excited and happy. Everyday at this school is a good day but be warned because the students are very troubled so you might want to talk to the teachers about that. 1000% would go there

SYF football Here…read morefor the first time for an SYF game as the season kicks off this weekend for youth football. Review is for the "Eason Field". School colors are blue and yellow. Lots of bleacher seating for spectators on both sides (home and visitors). Surrounded by some greenery and pine trees. The school seems fairly new [1984] and well-kept, the field is nice and clean. I like the fact that the field is right immediately inside coming from the parking lot and is wheelchair accessible. Good sound system for when announcement or music is played. Nice school but take care of the refs. The referees and EMT were not provided a tent/pop up during the games. Temps were highs 88 today, luckily, not in the 3-digits, but can still be hot especially when out on the field for a long period of time. The school could, at least, have provided the pop up tents for shade during halftimes and in-between games. The school was easy to find, close to Elverta... near fast food places, gas station and a huge Goodwill store across the street. Review #0344
