It's so awful you know who you are!!!!!!!! Whatever you do DO NOT GO HERE. It's sexist and unfair. I'm so glad the day I graduated to get away from being disrespected for not being a perfect person, being bullied, poorly treated students with disabilities, and favored mean girls. Overall an unsafe place. I've seen people hiding in the bushes outside (when i still went here) and there was a gate at the back of the school that was rarley shut. Do not go !! Close Quote
