Open Quote The administration almost actively works against students causing them to not graduate. The teacher are immature and if corrected in any way will react as if they are children younger than their students along with some teachers being sexist and cruel to students the guidance counselors will do next to no work to help their students in need, this however is just one of the three guidance counselors but i shall not name any names Close Quote
