Athletics are very supported, teachers are very understanding if your in a sport. It's vert diverse, every month there's a bake sale for a club and they always have foods from a bunch of different cultures. They have a lot of school events such as movie nights and a lot of senior events for the graduating class. The only thing I would change is the amount of ap classes. They need to have more ap class options and try and get more students to be ore academically involved.

The teachers and students in AP classrooms are great. However, there are a few students that cut class that target other students. I have personally been involved in a fight I did not want to be in, and the teachers do care if you get hurt and will support you, however, the counselors seem to not care. In short, I would like to see more safety in the schools.

It's great and fun. Most people are nice and polite to each other. It is a very safe school due to many security guards, and many teachers make it fun to learn. The teachers make learning a fun opportunity for us to enjoy. They make us want to come to class often. The tests are difficult level, and...
