This is a very trashy school. The students are so mean, the teachers care somewhat, and the classrooms are full of trash. The district is doing budget cuts to things we love dearly. The students are disrespectful, rude, bitchy, etc. Some education is fine. The school has rats it's that disgusting! Close Quote
