In Bolingbrook Highschool, there is a lot of diversity. However, constant fights are happening at the school at least once a month. Currently, they have locked almost all the bathrooms on each floor up with a gate. Security spends most standing in the bathroom and going to classrooms to pick up student's phones. There needs to be a revamp of the school system.
