(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Ok first I met the guidance miss.moberg. who hides in her office when she promised me she was going to show me around as soon as I arrived for my first day instead I was handed my class schedule a map of the school and 50 lbs. Worth of books by the clerk who was the 1 and only person who helped me ! The kids are wild and the teaches do not try to control them ! I could not go to the bathroom because I was afraid they were smokeing in there since it smelled like smoke in there ! I wish I would have read all the reviews above befor I decided to go to this awful school they are all true this has to be the worste school I have ever went to in my lifetime and I think miss.moberg should be fired and I will for sure not be going back to this awful school

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My daughter goes to this school for the past year and is in the 7th grade. I think this school has great potential but it worries me greatly that Mr. Webber and Ms. Davis class are always out of control-- My daughter complains every day about kids disrespecting Ms. Davis calling her fat and TWINKY and she does nothing; Mr. Webber thinking he was abducted by aliens and yelling at kids because of purple triangle. She never has homework and teachers fail to update eSembler consistently--making grades inconsistent. There is little learning going on because there is little control of kids--making out in the hallways, fire in the bathroom garbage can, detention slips (referrals) being handed out like candy but kids don't change. Someone should follow up on the way the faculty is run by the kids.

- i go to this school and i have been going here since sixth grade now, and i am in eighth grade now. some of the teachers are amazing teachers and connect very well with their students. other teachers cant keep their class under control. some teachers are strict and mean. i have had all of these teachers over the three years that i have been there. and there have been ALOT of fight and bad things there. one of the recent fights sent two kids to the hospital. one kid was stabbed with a pencil. and just the other day there was a bathroom fire. a kid set the bathroom on fire! and there were also six kids who had weed (drugs) on them. plus the school lunches r just plain discusting. overall that is what i think about my school. :)
