We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It's been one hell of 4 years here. What I will say is that if I didn't have some of the best, caring, supportive teachers I would've not made it. The school is stuck in its shadow of its hay day and you can feel it in the way the thing is built. It looks like you patch worked different decades into one building. The admins have no idea what they're doing as every rule that they "enforced" is their for like the first 2 weeks and after that point no teacher bothers to continue enforcing the ridiculous rules. Teachers are underpaid but that's par for the course in most schools but that angers me as they will spend thousands on computers for what I assume they call an "e-sports" team.

Plagued with the worst follow-thru of an anti-bullying campaign I've ever seen. Some of the rudest teachers I've ever experienced. And a lot of shared trauma from me a...
