Open Quote Students are allowed to do whatever they want and are given credits just for showing up. Drug use is allowed on campus by the principle. Laws and rules are not enforced. Students can leave campus whenever they want and are marked here. Bullying is ignored and victims of bullying are blamed or told they imagined it. Multiple people have transfered because of this. This school is a joke. Close Quote
