What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, June 27, 2017

The quality of the books is very poor. As a student going into 8th grade I should know. In my 7th grade year I checked to see when the books were published and most of the were from the 2004-2008 range. In my opinion students should have an up-to-date education. The food is terrible and not worth eating. Also, chicken that still has blood in it isn't supposed to be consumed by the students. All-in-all it's a pretty bad school. Students are able to just walk off campus and go o their home since there's nothing separating the school from the housing district that is literally across the rode from the schools. Also, the security is very poor and there's nothing to protect us from tornado's or any other major event like that. Close Quote
