Okay so i went to this school last year, and I loved it!!! if your worried about your child getting in fights well then tell them not to. Fights are going to happen everywhere. Come on people get real. This school was amazing, there is a new school tough, and new administration. They are awesome, and it is a great school. They have great teachers and I have all pre-ap classes and i am passing with flying colors. I highly sugest the school!
My child went to 7th and 8th grade here and it was terrible! It got worse one year to the next. I couldn't believe how many police officers visit that school everyday because of the number of fights and gang related activity. I do not recommend this school to anyone. They have recently moved to a brand new school but don't let that fool you, it's still the old crowd and admistration along with the police. Try another school district or private school.
This school might not be the shiniest tool in the shed, but it's been an extraordinary mark of the city. The music department is very good (thanks to, Mr. H. and Mr. Baker) and academics all depend on teaching styles. But, I think the lack of PROPER discipline does effect how the student body runs. Since the discipline is based (or should be) on classroom disturbances or disrupting the peace. Maybe, they should loosen up a little on dress code, and walking around without a hallpass, and start paying attention more to serious issues like drugs, fights, and threats. I haven't really encountered a problem. But, no one can always put the blame on a teacher. Sure, they are people and we all make mistakes, but teenagers also tend to say things to get out of their priorities. Parents don't forget to make somewhat of an effort to show (cont...)
this school was the best when i was there.all my teachers werent the best,but most of theme made me settle down (mrs.martin,miss.honnings). every body says the teaching poor,but they havent been to the santa fe shcools were there more than a year behind
