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.

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.

Though, this curse was the best thing to happen to me, I met a ton of new friends, dozens and dozens of insightful teachers who will nearly always help you, especially the MCA teachers! Though, some of the worst is a bit tedious like with MCA; but it's nothing too difficult to overcome.. I saw a review here about this school not setting up people for the real world... You have to take Finance and economics to graduate, unless it's changed by the time of me writing this. Otherwise this is a great social school, the new freshmen and such are a little weird and crazy, but they'll tone down and be normal. We have a good amount of mixing between grade levels so it's not just seniors and juniors keeping to themselves, but they go and talk and work with each other. I'll have to guess these reviewers are ones who never try to email their teacher, or talk with them, or anything -- schools great!
