Overall the school has very good facilities for academics but lacks that in a general aspect with the schools overall environment on campus. Bathrooms and the overall campus is very poor. Teachers often leave classes for more than weeks and students are left with inexperienced substitutes.

I went to this school for my senior year. The first week I was there I heard the fire alarm every period. It stopped after a while but it was just very different because at my old school I never heard the fire alarm. The teachers were very nice and welcoming. The counselor there was also very nice and helpful. She let me change my schedule around so that I could be with my friends and said that she would let me because she wanted me to feel comfortable since it was my first day. I played soccer while I was there and it was good for a while but the coach was also very annoying. He never really made subs and didn't give anyone trust. He mainly played the people he knew and when they would make mistakes he still wouldn't sub them out. We lost a few games due to his poor subbing. He had great players and let them go to waste. Something I would like to change about this school is the food. They had a lot of the same food everyday and I feel like they needed more of a variety.

The best part is that I got to make a lot of friends and friendly teachers. The worst part is that the laws of the school are a little too much exaggerated. Yes, I would like to see a change in the rules specific in the school office and restrooms.
