Horrible school the teachers don't do anything when they see a kid getting bullied and the students get in trouble for self defense and there are fights every day . I recommend not bringing your child here it's a living hell

It’s a bad school when a kid dropped a desk on me the teacher did nothing
Nov 2nd, 2018

Most of these 5-star reviews are from prior students that apparently forgot how bad it really is. This is my experience as a substitute teacher. The staff absolutely cannot keep control over the students. Allegedly the principal was awol after having been sent to a hospital by a student. The interim principal was tough, as she should be. I was expected to work thru my prep period. Fine, whatever, but I am here to earn $ and I don't make anywhere near as much as a normal teacher does. But they are all unionized so I get picked on instead, of course. You get totally insubordinate kids. Like kids completely unwilling to settle down and be quiet or switch seats from their noisy neighbors area. Kids that don't say "here" when you call roll. Kids that make up names and claim here for their absent friends. You also get kids that swear, a lot. Most of them talk like sailors. I went to lunch once and was totally reamed by someone without any authority to do so for not controlling other peoples kids whilst gone. In fact, the teacher that was angry at the kids took it out on me. In fact, she singled out one little black boy. I would personally sue her if he were my kid. I was let go early after that, an event I wasn't even there for and was not paid to be there for. Something was seriously wrong with her. She simply would not go away, stood there with a weird smile, and made my job of quieting them all down and having them orderly go onto the class room THAT MUCH MORE difficult. The girl that let me go, with glee, was as clueless and uneducated as they come. It's too bad too, because I guarantee I have the most advanced education of anyone at the facility. I also wanted to volunteer with Big Brother, Big Sister afterwards but they (school admin) just don't give a damn. Good bye, kids, and good luck.
