This school has a vaping problem. My student is in 6th grade and has been exposed to other students vaping in the bathroom. The issue is so rampant that while we were at the school to withdraw the student, we overheard on the radio that a student was caught vaping in front of the school. There's also fights at school.
The magnet program is okay, but the resident school is terrible. The academics are bad, almost all of the teachers suck, the staff couldn't care less about the students, and the social aspect between students is really bad. However, they do offer a good after-school theatre program.
My experience at this school was ok. One of my favorite experiences was in 8th grade when we went to a field trip to knotts berry farm in honor of almost graduating. As we as in 7th grade when our principal would always put music in lunch and they would have dance offs and fun games. What makes this school very unique is the atmosphere it has in which everyone is welcoming when you come and dont make you the center of attention when you are new. As well as how everyone is always there for you when your in a ruff time. I would want to go back to school again here because its not only in the hometown i was born in but also because the teaching skills are one of a kind in a way that no other public school does. They push threw and make you go over what you ctually think your capable of.
