Read my full review and make up your own mind. I've included lots of details.
We are pulling out our child because there's so much drama, false promises and damages the chances for my child to get into a good university, for that matter, any university. Now that the teacher knows that we are not happy, she is mistreating our child. This is bullying and retaliation by the teacher.
NOTE: Both Niche.com and GreatSchools.org are paid advertising sites that they subscribe to and they pay to have negative reviews blocked and scrubbed. Try posting a negative review and it will not show up. Their new reviews are all bad, but because they've been scrubbed, only old ones show up.
Your child's future should not be a gamble, specially when you spend $10k-$15k per year. That's $60k for just high school. Save the money.
We were befriended by the STEM Department Director Dr. Kathy Griffis. At first, we felt very fortunate to have a Department Director take a personal interest in our child's success. The more we reciprocated her interest with us asking about the Biology Honors class she teaches, she started deflecting by criticizing others.
Our initial questions were about when she will start teaching basics of human biology. She said coral Biology and human biology were the same. Repeated questions made her tell us that my child was in a Marine Biology class and not human biology. So we asked if my child can transfer to a human biology class since my child wants to become a doctor. She said it's too late to transfer since a whole quarter of the year has already passed. My child found some students from regular Biology class and realized that Griffis teaches the same things to both Biology and Biology Honors.
So we talked with other parents and our questions lead us to realize that Griffis doesn't know anything about Biology. She has found a niche to teach kids about coral, global warming and how Dr. Fauci is the smartest man/God alive. Now for 2.5 months, not one lesson on human biology. She spends more time during class checking on her coral in fish tanks than she does teaching. She calls her fish tanks of coral The Mariner Ocean Research Institute. It's all fake.
