The school was sued in 2017 by former student Adam Dobson who was expelled for attempting suicide, and who later stated he was forced to watch a religious gay-conversion video. The school and another student disputed Dobson's account, while student Marcous Marchese said he had also been forced to watch the video. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2020, with judge John E. Jones III ruling that Dobson "failed to identify any basis in the record to conclude what he characterizes as gay-conversion therapy resulted in the injuries he alleges."
