Open Quote Terrible leadership and a bully friendly culture. Close Quote


by a student

Open Quote This school is not the best. it's teachers are strict and they don't give kids enough time to eat. They put too much pressure on them!! it's teachers don't give the right punishments to the bad kids. The school itself is full of drama and hypocritism. I love the other programs though, such as Orchestra, Acting, Basketball, etc. I appreciate that they are trying to help us learn and become better people but they need to lay off it a bit. Overall, they are good for high grades, just not on the social status and the kids themselves. Close Quote
