My child is a new student to this school. She was only there for 4 days before she was jumped by other students. My daughter called me EVERYDAY of the 4 days she was there to let me know that the students there were taunting her. I advised my child to reframe from any unnecessary issue that may occur. I also made her aware that she was the new kid on the block and all attention would be on her because she is a beautiful young lady, and that she should ignore any statements made. This went on for 3 days in a CLASSROOM in which the teacher never introduced herself or made us aware of the classroom curriculum, none the less no one at the school gave us any information in reference to the school i.e. handbook or anything, they just made her a quick schedule and sent her on her way . My child got in a fight on the 4th day at this school and the staff was VERY nonchalant about the situation like this happens everyday, which is sad. They proceeded to say that my child was the problem because she engaged in the arguments. One of the admins even treated me as if i was a student attending the school by shaking his head the hole time im trying to explain my concerns. It was also evident that the staff shows favoritism towards certain students and they engage in conversation with the students like they are friends of the family or something. The hole time i was there i seen OVER 20 students roaming the halls and staff walk right by without asking questions. Now granted my child did put on a scene but this was only after she was provoked for 3 days, she stood her ground and let the other students know that she was NOT afraid of them and she would stand her ground need be, because she was NOT going to be bullied, harassed, or taunted because she was a new student, and she was suspended. This school needs a hell of a lot a work from parents students and staff in order to get this school where it needs to be. If students dont do what they are suppose to do and parents don't get involved , and staff only comes to work to clock in to get a pay check this school will remain at low standards. The test scores are extremely low and the reviews are over whelming. Please do your research before leaving your child in this dangerous environment because the staff gives off the impression that they don't care and they are just dealing with what has been sent to them. It's terrible. The principal even mentioned to me on the 4th day he had to step in during a issue with my child the prior day, but I was not informed of ANYTHING until the day of the fight. Ridicules GET IT TOGETHER TOWERS HIGH read your own reviews which says a lot about the students, staff, and parents
