Horrible school! Bullying is insanely high here. The AP could not care less. We pulled my son out mid semester because when we had a meeting to address the bullying she started it off by saying she trusts the bully so my son shut down. Many other issues too.
There is drug use, fights, vaping. Please don't send your kid here. Choice in elsewhere. It is worth it. Close Quote
