What people are saying

by a citizen
Tuesday, October 11, 2022

This school is HORRIBLE. 90 of the teachers are lazy and do not teach anything AND discipline is the biggest joke on the south side of the city. This place is the epitome of a 'credit mill.' They pass students to keep up with the 'on-track' rating and graduation rates. I know multiple people who graduated from this place and only went to school or class a few times a month. All you have to do is complain or get your parent to complain and they will change your grades and you will walk across that stage. It's the worst. Close Quote
