I feel as if the funding for student needs wasn't at a good enough level. They lacked medical funding as well. Also, the lunches were not easy to swallow.

I thought the school wasn't improving in the 4 years I was as there and the administration doesn't listen to students' complaints.
3.0 Parent

I feel as if I wasn't able to gain the normal high school experience due to all the difficulties faced at this school by our classes. I wish there was a better administration that listened to students (mostly the board) because sometimes our opinions and needs are disregarded when it comes to topics like uniforms, school lunches, and discipline. Overall the teachers aren't bad, and I've had amazing experiences with my teachers.
