Open Quote If you don’t play sports- you are nothing at this school. My son has been told this twice since being there. Terrible school, terrible teachers, and it’s only gotten worse since we have been there. Close Quote

Open Quote Used to be a student here and none of the staff could be bothered with you. Administration blames you and says you're exaggerating if you come to them to get help with abuse from home and bullying at school. They only care about your grades and if you're getting straight A's, you must be lying. They don't care about the students past their grades. Close Quote
