Abysmal staff especially the principal. Forced to take optional classes you shouldn't have to take, Italian being a prime example. Disgusting staff and executives that agonize students, including honor students primarily to take tests and classes that they either don't want to take or aren't prepared to take. Additionally, kids are horrific in behavior and disregard the feelings and joynnof their fellow classmates. Empathy is sadly a missed trait in this school. Overall, this school should close down, all it does is breed endless agony and eternal suffering. Close Quote

Coming to this school was the worst decision I ever made. In this school I'm missing out on a real high school experience. There's no freedom whats so ever, teachers make their classes so boring that we fall asleep. Students do whatever they want whever they want, theres no one to stop it. I regret that im waisting my precius 4 years in this so call "high school". I wish there was a way to get out of this school, i dont want to come here anymore, im scared. There are desks being thrown in the classrooms, students do not know how to behave and the DOE closes their eyes on this. Close Quote
