"They have a bad habit of waiting till the last minute to notify parents of things. They only give a week notice for things such as a Science project/fair. They have run out of food in the cafeteria on numerous occasions for proper nourishment for what is acceptable. It took them till 2011 to get a proper pick up drop off system in place and while they started with parking lot monitors, they have since stopped this practice. I feel bad for the teachers as they are pretty good here, but the rest of the school itself is lackluster at best. The performance hall needs an upgrade and the sound system in there is horrible. I don't agree with force-feeding the children Spanish when it is only an elective in High Schools. How do you think other cultures such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese, African, French or any other dialect feel when they don't get a report card or anything else in their language. That in itself is discrimination. There are never any cops watching the school zones and the people in the area seem to totally disregard the speed limit all together at all 4 corners of the school itself. It is a wonder no one has been run over when people are doing 45mph in a 20mph zone. I'm sure I am missing a few things, but I am sure this is enough to deter any interested school-goers."
