What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, May 15, 2012

This school is one of the most horrible expieriences of my life. Everyday I see people fighting in the halls, yelling at other teachers, and for the most part, the principle doesnt do anything. When teachers do anything, they do it wrong. People are discriminated against daily because of their race. It is a very unfair school. I came here in 6th grade, and still wish I never had. You hear people talking about doing drugs, drinking, and its just horrible. The teachers are blaming kids for getting bad grades, but it is also the teachers fault, because they mainly just hand you the asignments and dont help. The students are VERY violent and disrespectful though, to not only other classmates, but teachers and staff. I strongly recommend poeple to not ever go to this school. Close Quote
