3/1/2018

Unfortunately, there are complications in parent-teacher communication due to lack of willing to hold conversations to non-English speaking parents. The emotional-psychological spectrum has significantly changed to neglect. (i.e. lack of anti-bullying programs) especially its teachers. If you want to send your child to the most miserable middle school in the district then this is the right place for you.

This school was mostly okay, it had ups and downs, but the worst part was the bulling. I got barked at, called names, and taunted for what i wore. My teachers also did not respect my pronouns.
