What people are saying

by a student
Monday, November 20, 2017

A majority of the students there are giving a "second chance" refering to them attending different school before hand and doing very poorly, a lot of the students have a problem with discipline and potential drug issues. If you have to come to this school do it to catch up. Teachers will try to "be friends" with you then stab you in the back later on. If you keep to yourself and do your work, you will do just fine here. Close Quote
