I went to this school for about 3 weeks as a student, I was working at walmart and Mr P. Thought I was ditching school. I was leaving early to go to work I got kicked out because of that and now its hard for me to get into any other schools because Mr P. withdrew me. The staff here is horrible but the crazy english teacher I liked her

Absolutely the worst school I have ever dealt with!! Mr. P, Silvia, Lydia, Roxanne, and the staff are good people but the way that place is ran is ridiculous. Don't expect ANYTHING from the staff or the teachers as far as correspondence in academic progress with your child. No discipline, direction, or help. NOTHING! My kids spiraled down when they started going there. They do not supervise the kids in any way whatsoever, they just lay out the curriculum and the rest is on the children. If your kid fails they don't let you know. If your kid is breaking policy or leaves class without permission

When I started going there I went to the night program (that is no longer available) but really benefited me because I worked during the day. I dropped out for 1 year and returned as a single mom and was benefited from the Certified Nursing Assistant program they (still currently have). I graduated in 2013 and am now assisting college and working myself to pursue an RN. This school gave me the base to start a carrier and I will always be very grateful and thankful to all the teachers and staff that showed me their support even when I thought school was no longer a possibility for me. This school
