This causes a great deal of stress for parents who work long hours and the bus system is unreliable--even holidays don't guarantee a student will find the bus they usually ride. Moreover, notification of grades and homework assignments is inadequate, as it's often too late to be aware of any missing homework when looking on the site. Furthermore, it's difficult to contact teachers via phone or email, while attempts to reach the principal or superintendent bear no fruit at all. Even entering and exiting the high school are dangerous due to its proximity with a 45 MPH roadway with a limited turn lane. Overall, the school gets a 1 rating only because they do try teaching; however, policies vary drastically from class to class since each one works independently instead of as part of an entity/group. If only there was an excellent charter school like my sons had in elementary! more ... hide ...

However, I've made some wonderful friends here. The teachers are kind unless the class is being rude. Depending on the grade level there are particular rules; for instance seventh graders have to gather in the pod before being allowed to leave and sixth graders must do their student of the month activities in either seventh or eighth grade pods due to certain occurrences. All in all, I would suggest this school to others. more ... hide ...

I have to attend school where Miss Session is my teacher. She's an excellent instructor and the environment of the school is very pleasant and welcoming.
