The LAW program is decent and the school overall has other ways to help kids.Law, Avid, Duke TIP, Pace.And, Swag for academic help.Some people just complain since they're not mentally ready(as most kids are) when it comes to being around other people that may have issues — that are affecting to them.Like,most kids(including me).We face drama—We don't have it.

This school sucks kids be having drugs and get in fights all the time and teachers are more focused on dress code when they need to be focused on the quality of the education. I have been at this school for 2 years and all the students and parents think the same thing. The teachers are unfair, The school is very unclean and dirty, and fights happen on the regular. They have ridiculous rules such as you can't have bookbags or ANY bag out at all. What's the point of bags if you can't use them. I would not recommend anyone coming to this school. If you think a good quality education and fair treatment is a must for your middle school child DONT choose this school. everyone hates this school very much Close Quote
