Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions to improve academic achievement, attendance, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

I attended school here when I was younger and would recommend it to anyone! It would be amazing if the high school could reactivate too! Close Quote
