I love this school, yes theres fights and other things but in my opinion all the teachers are nice (some of them) but either way I love this school Close Quote

First of all, this school doesn't even deserve one star! I recently moved here, and we ignored all the bad reviews, so I suggest you don't do the same! Do NOT move here! The girl next to me didn't even know what STATE she lived in! This school is pathetic! I'm moving back to my old school this Summer (If you want good schools go to the East Coast!) The teachers here are just plain rude and nasty! My first day of school I asked the secretary where you waited for parent pickup, and she rolled her eyes at me. I told her I was new and she said "Why don't you just call your parents?" Then got back to her work. My English teacher SWEARS at the students! Speaking of the students, they are TERRIBLE. They are loud, lazy, rude, and self concerned! I was the only one out of a class of 30 students to complete the easiest project on time! They are incredibly inappropriate, to the point where I don't even want to be in the same room with them. Nevada is ranked about number 48 in education out of the states! Half this school is illiterate and you'll find yourself having no help because the help is all focused on the children who can't read or write, which in return makes your own grades fail. These children should be held back, not moved to high school next year! This school district is overall a failure! I'm so embarrassed to call this my school! Do yourself and your child a huge favor and do not move here! Close Quote
