so terrible. teachers don't do anything about bullying and most kids are either racist, homophobic/transphobic, or sexist - or all of the above. the education is alright but the kids are awful

Has a horrible bullying problem. I had to pull my son out of school because he was getting borderline illegal treatment from his teachers and peers.

They have lost control. There is no discipline there and good kids are getting picked on by other students while the administration does nothing. They have been instructed by the district to let most things slide so that the school does not appear to have discipline issues.
