Open Quote First of all the music department is tiny and they have disfunctional band teacher at best, she lacks organization. The teachers are not up to par af far as being responsible and ontime with their own duties to the grading and recording of such. Students have low expectations of their futures and life. School spirit and pride is seriously a sad low situation. The school in whole is very below average. Close Quote
