I did not have a bad experience with shields. The food was good to me especially the pizza and tacos and the small juice box. The teachers were also good at teaching and controlling their class especially Mr. hicks and Mr. o.

This school is the worst and I never want to go back the only good thing there was STAFF, and they are long gone; after Mr. Roth retired the school fell out. I would not recommend sending your kid here seeing as I went there as a student. on a more important note, the safety. there are constant fights as well as gang related activity, you can always find kids skipping class, spoking, breaking, things, fighting, etc.

Run away from this school. If you have one shred of love for your child do not send them here. They honestly might not make it out.

There is a positive atmosphere and culture in this school. The teachers and staff want to be there and do everything they can to ensure that every student has a positive experience. This year I see will be our best year yet.
