- **1/5** — Terrible school: My time at this school was terrible. I was continuously denied accommodations that the school was told by mental health professionals multiple times would help me. For whatever reason, they waited 2 years to tell my parents that they suspected that I am autistic despite that being something they are supposed to share as soon as they suspect it. The only time they actually attempted to help support me was when my parents were debating pulling me out, and even then it was the bare minimum. They on… *(Apr 2025)*

- **1/5** — Don’t send your kids here.: DO NOT send your kids here. I used to go here and I had an English teacher who would mock my parents and force me to do things I was very uncomfortable doing as a neurodivergent person. She once gave me detention for no reason and I dreaded school everyday. The roof was mouldy and tiles were missing but didn’t look that bad. *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — Vile school: Parents opinions are not welcomed! There's currently a teacher in the school not identifying as male or female. A parent has been told they have no right to question this or ask for this person not to teach their kids. Other parents are stating their children have had detention for mis gendering! Absolutely disgusting place, do not send children here 😒 *(Feb 2025)*
